Kramnik 5-0-3
Kramnik seems to be at the top of his game. Leko maybe not. Leko will provide a good fight and certainly he is in a perfect position to score a stunning upset. Looking forward to following the match.
Leko’s home court advantage will be the difference. Leko 4.5 Kramnik 3.5. Probably several draws though.
The World Champ Kramnik is playing great chess! This time he will defeat Leko who has not been playing well lately. I think it will be +2 Kramnik!
Kramnik 4-2-2
