3 Aronian
Dario
I go with Dario’s but Anand is first, Topalov 2nd and Aronian 3rd
Bobby
Topalov is the best !!!
topa is too far ahead not to be clear first. The only one who can catch him is someone who plays like him – no one.
Despite the dirty politics from his manager, topa is clearly good at tournaments.
Radja has difficult opponents, but they may go for draws. Anand has easier opponents.

pyada: No matter how the results will be, your prediction is definitely wrong because you gave them one point too much! Adding everything up gives 92 points, whereas 13 rounds à 7 games is only 91.
Did you guess the outcome of every game or did you just distribute some points, guessing how every player will do in the last rounds…?
Daniel.
this book is good to be translated in english for the whole world!
What I calculated is that if Topalov finished Corus with score 10/14 he gets ~+17 ELO points.
Now guess what happens if you add this to 2783.
I bet he is also thinking about reaching 2800 mark.Certainly he will continue to play aggressively up to the end.
I’m waiting in a suspense his tournament game vs. Kramnik.
Thanks Daniel for pointing out the mistake. Actually its Motylev sho will receive a point less.
So the final standing will be
V. Topalov 9
V. Anand 9
V. Kramnik 8
T. Radjabov 8
R. Ponomariov 7.5
L. Aronian 7.5
P. Svidler 7.5
