in this row!
greetings, Vohaul
Topalov, Aronian, Anand
Topalov for sure. Then Aronian. After Aronian would be Anand.
Susan I am not sure what year you mean. do you mean the calendar year 2006. it is too soon to decide.
do you mean 2005. Topalov won his title in 2005 so he will be picked for winning the title.
Anand is just as good if not a better player. but he did not win the title so he is in 2nd place.
Aronian has been on a good run. He broke into the top group and has done very well. I expect that Aronian will remain in the top group for awhile.
One word: Topalov
Anyone know where I can get a chess set like the one in this picture?
