Rubion: Who would have picked Ivanchuk, Morozevich and Wang Yue to be propping up the table over half way through the tournament? Not me that's for sure. |

Dec-21-08 Pearl Spring Tournament (2008) 
|
Rubion: You forgot that Anand also won the world championship tournament in 2007. I'd say that in terms of lifetime achievement Anand is way ahead of Topalov. Since 2005 they are more or less level pegging in tournament chess, but the big difference is that Anand has won and defended the ... |

Dec-16-08 Elista Grand Prix (2008) 
|
Rubion: Aronians 2753/5 was good enough for clear fourth in 2006, but now he is back in 9th. Retaining the same rating means going backwards in the ELO world. |

Jan-23-08 Corus Group A (2008) 
|
Rubion: To be fair to old vanW he did beat Topalov in an earlier round, so is not a complete patzer. Plus his blunder today was less horrific than Carlsen's yesterday. Personally I think vanW has brings more to the party than many; Eljanov in particular has shown nothing so far. |
