I was expecting to see a poll on this tournament when I logged into chesspub today but to my surprise this is the only thread related to the event.
Anyway, I will make my remark and say that I believe Carlsen will be the winner of this tournament.

I was watching most of the games, Carlsen-Kramnik and Moro-Leko were of particular interest.

I seriously thought at the time that Kramnik would manage one of his trademark wins in a seemingly equal position. Great game, the Moro-Leko even more so..

This tournament will really show us what Carlsen is capable of, as well as the state of Kramnik & Anand who have both not played many games lately.

One round already and no thread on this super tournament. I am shocked  Shocked Chesspubers asleep?


Actually, yes. Kinda hard to stay awake here in Australia. Had to stay up late till 3am before Carlsen-Kramnik ended....... now I've got a bad case of keyboard face.  Grin
