Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Ivanchuk for sure.
I go for chuky. And i hope Carlsen comes second. And i hope Kramnik comes last.
Ivanchuk would have been the favourite if Carlsen was not taking part. But Ivanchuk loses too many points against Carlsen.

Hi,

Ivanchuk seems to be played out, losing several games at the European Teams. I’ll take Shirov & Carlsen at the top of a wide open event.
As usual kramnik’s bashers dont spoil any little occasion to offend him, to wish bad results…
It seems that these macumbas dont work!!!
His main guilt is to have destroyed all your myths, like kasparov, karpov and next year anand too.
I dont knwo who win tal memorial, but for sure kramnik will perform at least 2800; surrender to this.
