Whoa, average rating over 2700, all superstars, and all of those players have beaten each other before, should be interesting. How do you think Leko will do? I kinda like him to be honest, nobody really knows how good he is now and how good he will become.

Yea, a reason could be he doesn't want to publicise his opening- and other preparation .... he is such an old fox.

Plus all his training right now is based around a single opponent and his openings. I can't wait to see what he pulls out against the Ruy Exchange (if it's played. I think Rustam just played it to avoid Adams' Marshall).
