Jul-08-09		lost in space: No comments so far???? I hope Carsen with win against drawko!!

Jul-08-09		zanshin: I <second> that!

Jul-08-09		Check It Out: I'm liking this Carlsen kid more and more.

Jul-08-09		wanabe2000: Leko is only 30 years old but seems to be past his prime. (How is that possible?). MC should give him a good go with white tomorrow.

Jul-08-09		Knight13: Hell, no. Go Leko!

Jul-08-09		AgentRgent: I think that Carlsen is definately impressive, but Leko should draw fairly easily I should think.

Jul-08-09		waustad: Expect an English?

Jul-08-09		JointheArmy: <Leko is only 30 years old but seems to be past his prime. (How is that possible?). MC should give him a good go with white tomorrow.> Leko hasn't been the same since he blew a +3 lead at the Morelia/Linares tournament a few years back.

Jul-08-09		kamalakanta: Leko has a plus score against Carlsen, 4 to 2 with 22 draws. I find Leko is a brilliant tactician.

Jul-09-09		whiteshark: They know each other quite well. <Peter Leko beat Magnus Carlsen 4 to 2, with 22 draws.> Check it out, there are a lot of rapid games in between, but a draw shouldn't be that unlikely... http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...

Jul-09-09		acirce: Carlsen is yet to beat Lékó in a classical game - the Hungarian is 3-0 not counting draws. The latest win came in Linares last year. I hope and think that this zero will survive today.

Jul-09-09		brucejavier: i hope that this game isn't gona be a 20 move draw. I would expect carlsen pushing for a win and leko asking for a draw. Go Carlsen!!

Jul-09-09		OneArmedScissor: 1. e4! resign

Jul-09-09		MrSpock: 1. e2-e4 c7-c5 and a real Hitchcock ;-)

Jul-09-09		Domdaniel: <a real Hitchcock> Qg7 in the Slav, a la Ivanchuk and Bacrot, is a real Hitchcock -- a cross between <Psycho> and <The Lady Vanishes>. But with these two we'll be lucky to reach <39 Steps>.

Jul-09-09		percyblakeney: It's probably a <Dial D for Draw> but I hope Carlsen wins.

Jul-09-09		SugarDom: Who's the drawmongering weasel again?

Jul-09-09		tamar: <a real Hitchcock> I'm hoping more for a real epic here, not just suspense. David Lean maybe, <Lawrence of Arabia> not <Brief Encounter>.

Jul-09-09		Absentee: I'll go out on a limb and say we'll have "The Battleship Potemkin".

Jul-09-09		SugarDom: Potter Leko?

Jul-09-09		Ulhumbrus: Another twenty-one minutes to go.

Jul-09-09		kamalakanta: I'm betting on Carlsen to win this one!

Jul-09-09		Robin01: I want to see Leko play a French!

Jul-09-09		MrSpock: I like the french defence!

Jul-09-09		botvinnik64: don't forget that Leko came within one 1/2 point of being World Champion when he faced Kramnik in Brissago, Switzerland a few years back...
