I think Pia's gonna win. She's higher rated.

Also I just realized Who Pia Cramling is

I think hes quite childish

ITS GOING TO BE EXPERIENCE VS AGE

A CLIMBING IM VS AN ESTABLISHED GM

FOR ME PIA IS THE OBVIOUS FAV ESP IN CLASSICAL AND RAPID BUT IN BLITZ , THINGS MIGHT TURN AROUND FOR LEVY

I feel like levy will sacrifice THE ROOOOOK!

Anyways, in my opinion, I feel like Levy will win.

I know Pia is going to win, but I will still root for Levi
