Topalov for sure.
Going into the match, I thought Anand would win. But he made poor opening choices in Games 6-8 when he had two Whites in a row and the chance to put Topalov away. Now Topalov has the momentum and is known as a strong finisher. With a tie score it can be anyone’s match, but I have to pick Topalov at this point.
