go Magnus go
I wanna see you krunch the topster.
These things are not really predictable except when Kramnik is black against 1.e4, but my best guess is:
Topalov-Carlsen 1-0
Motylev-Kramnik 1/2
Radjabov-Svidler 1/2
Karjakin-Anand 1/2
Shirov-Ponomariov 1/2
van Wely-Aronian 0-1
Tiviakov-Navara 1/2
Topalov and Radjabov seem to have to play the top players the last 4 rounds, but Aronian has a much easier go of it the last 4 rounds…don’t be surprised to see Aronian at the top of the pile come Sunday.
for sure, topa is going for the kill today
Sorry for the Off Topic, but today there is at the GibTelecom Masters, on the 1st board, Fabiano Caruana (IM 2492) – Michael Adams (GM 2735)!!!

Go Fabiano! 😀
wouldn’t it be epic and fairy tale- beautiful if magnus won?
it is sure a fairy tail 🙂
Carlsen’s win is impossible…
Draw would be a realistic surprise 😉
By “impossible” I assume you mean “highly unlikely”? ~kt
Go on Carlsen, make the “topster” eat his heretic bishops.

whats with topalov acting like hes a big shot. look at that confident look with the photograpers snapping pictures. hes soaking it all in. i can just see him thinking dam im good. i think kramnik needs to show him whos the man. anand needs to start playing like the player we know inovative and creating chances. i think now anand and kramnik are going to turn up the heat with some wins.

Wolvey:
Seems to me that damn it Topalov IS good. And an aggressive fighting sportsman. Not like Kramnik, with another quick draw and a compulsion to wash his hand every 3 minutes.
Poor CarlsOn. Nothing left for him except to start the propeller on his back and fly to Norway. He needs a few more years before he can challenge topa.
