I'm rooting for Koneru. Watch her take Black to SmashTown in Humpy v Borki. 22.Kd3! shows off her big brass balls. That was the first game in the Gruenfeld I ever saw.

Yeah I noticed that today. It's really up for grabs if any of the top seeds have a bad day but my money is on Koneru. She is really going to have to get outplayed to lose anytime soon.

Pardon Our Blunders Show Review: Dec. 8, 2010
Written by: ChessMarkstheSpot
Welcome to the weekly review of Pardon Our Blunders. Every week our Hosts cover varied topics—all chess-related. As regular viewers know, their coverage normally leads to some very interesting and entertaining banter. Here’s a rundown of this week’s Topic #2:
The Women’s World Championship!
Who is the favorite to win this massive K.O. tournament that is going on now in Turkey from December 2nd-25th? David thinks Yifon Hou(rated 2591) will win as Danny chose randomly and came up with Antoaneta Stefanova(2548). The favorite would have to be Humpy Koneru, who has the highest rating in the tournament right now at 2600, but is seeded #2 overall. As the field falls away, who will be the last one standing to claim the Women’s World Chess Championship?
