Kramnik is the best so far.
Carlsen, without a doubt.
Ivanchuk has done great too, but he’s had one amazing tournament and Carlsen has had a consistently good performance so far this year.
GM Judit Polgar is always the best!
Yury Shulman
kamsky nope
sloan nope
Obomba yup
Magnus Carlsen
Off course Anand.
Actually, I’m the best so far as I haven’t lost yet this year.
I forgot to mention that I played the same person every time. Neither of us is very good, but he is worse than I am.
Carlsen

Vassily Ivanchuk is the greatest this year- after a decade since winning his third Linares, he finally wins another supertournament- and not just wins it- gets one of the best tournament performances of all time- similar to Karpov’s 1994 Linares win- except that the top two Anand and Kramnik weren’t in it.
In any case no-one has done anything nearly as spectacular in a supertournament this year. This 80% win is worth 3 or 4 65% tournament wins in my opinion.
Ivanchuk, of course, no question.
It is between Carlsen and Ivanchuk. Who can keep up their form?
Fischer (now in hiding with Elvis) of course.
I say Aronian.
okay
