    So, what are everyone's predictions? Does anyone think Grischuk can hang on to his lead?

    I for one am very happy to see Magnus playing the Shabalov/Shirov attack against the Slav. No more of these monotonous slav positions!

    Magnus'decisive tendency could always take Linares or Corus on any given year, if he's playing! If Grischuk loses a few in a row as he often does, the whole field may catch up to him IMO. Yeah! [insert continued comma splices and sentence fragments here]. I never thought I'd say this--but Linares has gotten better since Kaspy retired!

    I think I have a man-crush on Teimour Radjabov. The guy just played the Schliemann attack against Ivanchuk's Spanish. This dude has the best opening repertoire going at the top level these days.

    edit: Oh, and Magnus is playing the dragon against Dominguez. His repertoire aint bad either.

    Carlsen just beat Dominguez, what an amazing game!
