You forgot Ivanchuk. (You mentioned Svidler twice).
It turning out be a Dramatic,Sensational Finish.
But Iam giving my predictions for the 13th round
anand – leko 1-0
carlsen – svidler 1/2-1/2
aronian – ivanchuk 1/2-1/2
morozevich – topalov 1/2-1/2
Which game will you do live blogging for ? Let me guess.. Morozevich-Topalov 🙂
depending on whether carlsen wants to make a “decent” result at this tourney or try for the win to catch up with anand…. idk…
the most exciting i think will be moro – topa. they both have nothing to lose being at the bottom of the chart and both are more of the type of players that will try to play out the positions rather than have them agreed on as equal.
anand – leko 1-0
carlsen – svidler 0-1
aronian – ivanchuk 1-0
morozevich – topalov 0-1
anand – leko 1-0
carlsen – svidler 0-1
aronian – ivanchuk 1-0
morozevich – topalov 0-1
LOL, Topalov would be 12-0 if the people here had their way.
