I think Carlsen has what it takes to win, though I'd like someone else to win it...

Loek van Wely has beaten Short in a classical queen's gambit declined ... interesting.

looks like heinz is leading the prediction poll after 1st round.

when was the last time leko played an exciting game? too bad he screwed it up eventually... all that remains to be seen is whether he can 'leko-porn' it into a draw. I doubt it...

maybe drawnand, for not even trying to win the almost certainly but not quite drawn ending. but the rest of them at least tried. drawnik aimed at a draw straight from the opening. he had 1h 34min left on his clock when the draw was agreed. disgusting.
