< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 51 OF 95 ·  Later Kibitzing> Sep-08-11    Bratek: <Polgar-Svidler> Sep-08-11    BUNA: It's hard to pick a match now, isn't it? But I go with <Ivanchuk-Radjabov>. I'm quite impressed by both the cubans and PHN! I haven't been following their games so far, probably because they didn't belong to the shiny inner circle of the elite. I was wrong. Great games, great fights. Hats off! And the live video stream really ads another dimension to it. Who has been the most convincing so far and could therefore be called favorite? Gashimov, but he almost stumbled against PHN. Ivanchuk was in severe trouble against Bu and Sutovsky. Svidler should have lost his second game against Kamsky. Polgar and Pono could have been out minutes ago. Navara didn't have a really tough opponent so far. Probably Radjabov? Sep-08-11    parmetd: vote for <Ivanchuk-Radjabov> Sep-08-11    Winsome Knight: I vote for <Polgar-Svidler> Sep-08-11    parmetd: BUNA at what point do you think Svidler was losing against Kamsky? Sep-08-11    whiteshark: <Polgar - Svidler> sounds like fun for the spectators Sep-08-11    Maatalkko: <Polgar - Svidler> Sep-08-11    sofouuk: Polgar-Svidler pls Sep-08-11    boz: <Polgar-Svidler> because having the first move, Judit will go straight for the jugular and because Svidler is a diabolical counter-puncher and bon vivant. Sep-08-11    kia0708: boz, your post is a great advertising for this game ! Sep-08-11    Kanatahodets: Clearly the future champion is of utmost interest. Therefore I vote for Svidler-Polgar. Sep-08-11    Appaz: The voting seem to be already decided in favour of Judith, but miracles can happen, therefore my vote goes to <Ivanchuk-Radjabov>.

Was it Fischer's influence...if not what? I'll give a billion dollars to the one who gives the correct answer! Sep-08-11    kamalakanta: Polgar-Svidler for sure! Sep-08-11    virginmind: oh boy, tough call. i guess you gotta give credit to the lady, so i say <polgar-svidler>. Sep-08-11    T.Tinio Phan Nhot: It is hands down, Judit Polgar - Peter Svidler. May the best win. My sentiments goes to the Big Momma Jamma. Sep-08-11    benjinathan: I would be happy to see a game like this: Svidler vs Judit Polgar, 2005 Sep-08-11    superstoned: Polgar-Svidler most def Sep-08-11    jaseemalikt: <Ivanchuk-Radjabov> Jump to page #    (enter # from 1 to 95) < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 51 OF 95 ·  Later Kibitzing>
