Topalov will be #1 again in 2010.
Sure, these are all strong players, however, I MUCH more prefer Wijk aan Zee. More games per round, not always the same opponents, simply way more interesting. Go Wijk!

Something more than fishy that Magnus is not participating in this premier tournament and it is close to Anand – Topalov WC match and that Magnus is a good friend of Anand…
That is a weird Linares. Where are Anand, Kramnik, Carlsen and Ivanchuk?
Oh, what’s this? Only 6 participants! I remember there were always 8 in the last few years. Chess in times of economic crisis.
