Mar-23-08 Amber Tournament (Rapid) (2008)
| |
| gadfly: Topalov and Anand have the easieast program of all, it seems. They also have equal points and are about to face the same opponents. I don't know about the others but I will be curious to see how things will work themselves out in this "duel" even though both players are probably out ... |

Dec-02-07 World Cup (2007)
| |
| gadfly: Of the players that remain in this tournament, naturally I would like Cheparinov to win the whole thing. Otherwise, if that does not happen, then I am rooting for Aronian. Aronian and Svidler seem to be the strongest remaining players and the former should be considered a slight ... |
