Linares

starts in a few days. Any opinions on who will win? I think Leko will take it. Kramnik is way off form,and Kasparov has not played in nearly a year(not counting that bogus match vs.Fritz). Dark horse:Topalov.

I quite like Topalov's style, so that is who I am backing. He prodimantly plays the Sicilian openings to great effect, and also defends quite often with the sicilian.

-Robbo

Garry will win. He has played the last year, 6 games in the European Club Championship including a brilliant win over Grischuk and his worst blunder aver against Huzman. Yesterday he played an exciting draw, today he will beat radjabov. Garry will score at least 8 points

I hope Peter Leko will win. Anand second, Gary K third.
