Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
great field. We know leko and kramnik are in places 3 and 4….Shirov…well..it’s sort of sad but he never does well against the elite. Would love to see Carlsen do well…but he always plays like a rabbit against the best…..if his nerves last I think Chucky takes this one easily….though any of the others have a chance for the tourney of their lives…looking forward to seeing it.
Carlsen??? Again???
Give me a break. Why not Kariakin? This seems to be the tournament for the russian-speaking people.
And Carlsen has been a total disapointment as of late.
Kamsky will win it!
