Carlsen vs Kramnik in round 1
Again Carlsen as white against Kramnik :S
the result of this game will most probably decide the winner of the tournment unless it is a draw.
Battle for 2nd place. Nakumura will outplay them all. Alas.
I’m a Norwegian
Yeah, sure you are. And you think Naka will outplay them all. Haha. No way. Kramnik og Carlsen is going to win. And I am a Norwegian.
A first-round pairing of the two favorites. If it is *not* a Petroff—I mean draw—I’ll be impressed!
The Englishmen will score two points!
Nigel Short will win!!
