I had the honor of playing against Carslen when he was in Drammen doing a simultanmatch against 40(he won 39 and had 1 draw at the age of 15).

But i think he could get tired, he did after he's last tournament before christmas. Carslen got a really cool playing style, he prefers to play with his knights instead of his bishops and very often he does something that you dont see in normal matches, so my vote goes to him.

Second place, Kamsky perhaps?

Carlsen has been playing well recently so I voted for him. Does anyone know how well Karjakin has been doing? I heard about him a few years ago and he was going to be the next great player but then I have'nt heard much about him since.

Shows my ignorance, but I'm only aware of Carlsen and Kamsky. Carlsen is the one I hear spoken of with the most respect and fear though. No Kasperov, but still sounds deadly.

 Carlsen is looking pretty strong lately, but even though I gave my vote to him I am not sure that he would be able to deal with kamsky's playing style (Kamsky doesn't make mistakes often) specially in this tournament

Actually I guess I know about half...

 

Carlsen, Radjabov, Svidler, Adams, Kamsky, and Grischuk...

 

Ironically that's also the order of position I expect those players to finish :P.

Where's the "I'm ignorant, and don't know who any of these people are" option?

Lol, no one has voted for GM Etienne Bacrot yet. I went for the 10th option.

I voted for Radjabov.  He is often overlooked compared to Carlsen, but he is an awesome player with good nerves.
