I guess:

Polgar-Topalov= C67 Spanish Berlin
Anand-Svidler=  C89 Spanish Marshall Accepted
Kasim-Leko=  B33 Sicilian Sveshnikov
Adams-Moro= B83 Sicilian Scheveningen.


Oh, I guess if I guess after the games are over, it doesn't count does it?  Well, what if I guess the results of those game? Grin

The only time I tried to guess, I also was completely wrong.

Today:
1. Polgar-Topalov
2. Anand-Svidler
3. Adams-Morozevich
4. Kasimdzanov-Leko

My guess is:
1. Najdorf. Polgar is an e4-player and Topalov don't want to change a winning concept.
2. Grünfeld. Svidler is known to use Grünfeld a lot, while he has a broad repertoire against e4. I think that is why Moro used d4. Anand won't play f3 though.
3. French. Moro used the Philidor yesterday. I don't think he'll repeat that. He has also tried the sicilian but I'm sure he'll use the french in some games. Why not against Adams? Nd2 Be7-variation?
5. Anti-Marshall. Kasim probably don't have the time to fully go through Anand-Leko, but Leko won't like to have a similar game again.
