Round Two today. I expect it to be much more exciting. Here are my predictions...
Peter Svidler vrs Peter Leko 1-0
Boris Gelfand vrs Alexander Grischuk 1-0
Levon Aronian vrs Viswanathan Anand 1-0
Vladimir Kramnik vrs Alexander Morozevich 1/2-1/2
Svidler has an advantage, but the queens are still on the board with not much else, so that may draw. As for the others, Anand and Kramnik won, while Gelfand-Grischuk drew.

Does anybody actually know the way this tournament works? I understood it to be a tournament to find the candidate to play Kramnik, but Kramnik's playing?
Does the winner of the tourney become world champion? If so i thinks it's crazy. There's only one way to play for the world title: A head to head on a challenge basis!

Indeed.
This whole tournament is kind of a joke, its more of a glorified candidates tourney than anything, except the champion is playing! 😵
Will anyone acknowledge the winner of this event as the world champion should kramnik lose? I certainly wont.
