Excellent writing on Mexico at http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt/ and http://main.uschess.org/content/view/7878/141/
sorry, but nobody deserves an a.
How can dirtygarry give Gelfand a lower grade than those tied with him when he had 3 blacks and they only had two? Clearly, his performance is the third best here.
Kramnik A (played best of all)
Anand B+ (missed win against moro)
Gelfand B+ (very solid so far)
Aronian B (haven’t seen his best yet)
Grischuk B (played decent so far)
Morozevich B (should be -1 but still has played ok)
Leko B- (bad loss to Aronian, but incredible save vs. Gelfand)
Svidler C
