WE NEED SUSAN AUSTRALIAN OPEN PICKS
Of the 1 round tomorrow, I’d love to see Suzan commenting on:
T. Radjabov – A. Anand
L. Aronian – V. Topalov
can someone post all the round 1 matchups
Round 1 – Saturday the 12th
V. Kramnik – L. van Wely
T. Radjabov – A. Anand
S. Mamedyarov – M. Carlsen
P. Eljanov – P. Leko
M. Adams – B. Gelfand
L. Aronian – V. Topalov
V. Ivanchuk – J. Polgar
wow- some great matchups right off the bat- this is definitely the best tournament of the year- i have to believe kramnik will win this though- anand’s too obvious of a choice and topalov hasnt been playing too well lately- maybe carlsen or mamedyarov can surprise or of course chucky but i doubt it – i really expect kramnik
In this field it is impossible not to have great match ups each round.
Radjabov, Anand, Topalov are favorites
thank you pitor
Predictions:
Kramnik 1-0 Van Wely
Radkabov 1/2-1/2 Anand
Mamedyarov 0-1 Carlsen
Eljanov 1/2-1/2 Leko
Adams 0-1 Gelfand
Aronian 1/-1/2 Topalov
Ivanchuk 1-0 Polgar (Sorry…)
Radjabov and Anand to tie for first.
Kramnik and Leko to have a punch-up over who is the best positional player.
Adams to take solitary confinement in the cellar.
i du hope judit fares well in this never underestimate women she aggressive tough witty n plays always to win hope she really does good in standings
Go Judit!
I agree with martin’s suggestion re live commentary:
T. Radjabov – A. Anand
L. Aronian – V. Topalov
