Topalov!
Anand is my pick.
Though in a case of a surprise, I will be happy.
Let Anand win, he is the nice person!
Anand is nice indeed and I adore his personality but Topa is not a bad person. I like his personality a lot too.
Topa is not a bad person? …umm….
ok 🙂
But uh…. where were you a few months ago, when the Elista match Topa-Kramnik was played!?! LOL
I hope and believe Anand will win. I stopped rooting for Topalov long ago after his slanderous, unsportsmanlike behavior at the match with Kramnik. However, Anand appears to be a thoroughly normal, sane, nice human being and I wish him all the best in this match.
Toppy is a natural born loser who is trying to immitate Tal. He is going to lose.
I don’t understand why they still invite Topalov to these type of tournament after his behaviour at and after Elista. He should be isolated.
anand of course!!
he is the best rapid chess player..
“Anand is nice indeed and I adore his personality but Topa is not a bad person.”
Topa IS a bad person, and one of the worst sports in the history of chess.
