Well, my choice for winner, 15th and current World Champion, Viswanathan Anand ( India ) has come out of the gate fast ! He is, after one round, ALONE in first place, posting the only win ( over Teimour Radjabov [ Azerbaijan ] ).

Now I acknowledge it is a long tournament of 14 rounds ( a double round robin of 8 players ). But Anand will end the tournament as he has started it - ALONE in first.

Does anyone out there think Anand will NOT win Linares?

I'm hoping Vishy Anand wins... he is a class act and is good for chess. He has
created a renaissance in chess in India. I remember reading that nice people don't do well in chess at the highest level... V.Anand is living proof that this isn't true!
