Kramnik is my choice. Carlsen is off form, Anand is rusty, Shirov is well...not as consistently strong as the other three!

It will be interesting to see if the weak Olympiad performance by carlsen can be explained by lack of motivation against lower rated players (or in general). 

I am also afraid that non (directly) chess related obligations like modeling is negative to his chess. From another perspective it may be positive to have other things than chess to think about. But maybe not on the highest level??

It will be an interesting tournament for sure.

Featuring Carlsen, Anand, Kramnik and Shirov as the players.

Should be a good tournament.  Smiley
