Back to forum Thibault de Vassal (2007-09-14 02:33:32) FIDE World Championship 2007 The FIDE World Championship 2007 just started in Mexico. A double round-robin tournament with 8 players and a US $1.3 million prize fund. Players are Vladimir Kramnik, Peter Svidler, Alexander Morozevich, Levon Aronian, Viswanathan Anand, Boris Gelfand, Alexander Grischuk and Peter Leko. Round 1, all games drawn... Any favourite ? Jason Repa (2007-09-15 13:03:20) FIDE World Championship 2007 Well there is some doubt there, most remarkably from Anand himself who considered Kramnik to be the favourite here in a pre-tournament interview, despite Anand's higher elo. I predict Kramnik to win, not out of any personal admiration for the man. Quite the opposite is true actually. I would rather see Anand or Leko win. At the close of Round 2, Anand and Kramnik are tied for the lead. Thibault de Vassal (2007-09-15 13:33:34) FIDE World Championship 2007 Anand or Kramnik are the clear favourites but what is the 'chancy factor' in such an event and how it can change things... Hard to say.
