 | | lostemperor: As for the futute tournaments: things are unsure about Linares. Also Dortmund, perhaps only 6 players, is less interesting for this contest. I was planning to do at least two tournaments in the second half of this year, Tal Memorial, London or Nanjing! But since this is a FINAL STANDINGS PREDICTION FORUM, you can in the future always post predictions here on tournaments. In case of five predictions or more I will run <YouRang>'s CONMAN calculation software at least at the end of the tournament and with 12 participants we can make it an official tournament (so you the players decide :)). However I will only make an eleborate (daily) report of tournaments I announce in advance. |

| Mar-25-11 | | rogge: <emperor>, thanks for running the contest, always fun :) Congrats to the winners! |

$0.00,Gashimov-above-Kramnik, (0 winners)
Only two correct pairs are not predicted by any of the 12 predictors/contestants (+ 2 virtual contestants). Which just to show you how strong the competition was! ;-) |

| Mar-25-11 | | YouRang: Hey, a second and third place finish -- not bad! 2011 is off to a good start (at least in this very narrow sense). Anyway, thanks for running the contest. I did have hopes for getting gold. But while I did okay in placing Grischuk high and Kramnik low, Nakamura didn't do nearly as well as I expected. |

 | | Penguincw: Well,WannaBe wins the prize for last place.Maybe next time,I should do something like this: 1.Giri
2.Gashimov
3.Grischuk
4.Gelfand
5.Nakamura
6.Topalov
7.Karjakin
8.Ivanchuk
9.Kramnik
10.Aronian
