Who will win it this year?
For sure Wesley So! So! So! So!
there can be only one- Anish Giri
What is this above list??? Surely not winners of a young Grandmaster tournament…..some of em were wayyyy too long in the tooth….what is it a list of???
how Magnus Carlsen was not invited in this tournament? not that it matter anyways (he’s gonna win for sure if invited), but I would like to see how this other prodigies do against him.
how come Carlsen was not invited in this tournament. Of, course he will win but I would like to see how these other youngsters fair against him.
