Susan, Before you dinner with coach Bob Knight, listen to his halftime speech during a recent game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw7KijRfU-c
here we go my pick to win it morozevich. this guys is so fun to watch. look at the game in 2005 he had with bologon another exciting player. we need more players like morozevich. he has unbelievable skills and hes ready to damage. i believe since hes no longer a young player coming up through the ranks but an established top contender thats been through the trenchs hes primed and ready for the world title. this is his time to shine. do this thing moro and take care of business. people are tired of kramnik and his boring chess.
wolverine you are right. yes kramnik is boring. we need tals and morozevichs. i like anand very much too. although now he is not as astonishing as earlier. younger anand had indredible imagination.
I am going to root for Kramnik. (And for Leko, of course)
I love his style.
Morozevich is not a good player. He is a very good player!
It would have been interesting to mention the players seconds too. It can make the difference, which is needed at this level.
Why doesn’t Kram have a Russian coach, or two? Strange, isn’t it?

What is the duty of the seconds in Mexico?
Where is the comments and pictures about the open ceremony, and the draws of the first round?
In the official site there is nothing but an “Attention: Due to a major force blablabla…”
