Just 2 rounds to go, who will win?
Group A:
Aronian only needs 1 win and 1 draw to win the Corus Chess Tournament 2008 title!In next 2 rounds, if none of Radjabov, Carlsen & Anand had a win,
then Aronian needs only a win & draw to get atleast joint 1st place
To be on the safe side, Radjabov, Carlsen & Anand had to win the last 2 rounds
For Anand, in the last round, it looks difficult to win as he has to play against Kramnik, the ultimate solid draw game player, assuming Anand wins one of the most erratic van Wely (now in the last position, along with Eljanov, who surprised Polar in 11th round, his only win!)
For Carlsen, the chances are very weak, as the has to play the most motivated Rajbadov, and the Kramnik.
For Radjabov he has to force a win against Carlsen which is that easy too, else his chances at winning on Leko, the most solid chess player, is very mere!
Lets not hope all (or most) these will loose one game, some one from the 3rd position will come to 2nd/ 1st place! Quite possbile!
Anand shud win this tournament to prove, again, he is Master! of Corus Chess! too!
Group B:
Looks most probably one of these will win:
1. S. Movsesian 8
2. E. Bacrot, N. Short 7½
4. P. Harikrishna, I. Nepomniachtchi 6½
