Well, I got the starting move wrong, and I don't think this will go past 40 moves. Great start...

titust & PigsOn7th too. 10/10, nice start guys.

Oh, and if any of you 4 fail to score a point tomorrow, you get an extra 1 point.

titust wrote the game number so I scored him wrong.

Pigs gets minus points for laziness.

An interesting first game between Anand and Carlsen:

He wrote it before the colours were known. As for the second opinion, I partly agree with you, but I can only make a small sign in my notes that titust was first, JWestlake 2nd, Pigs 3rd and pdela 4th and then make it like a tie-breaker at the end.

Nope haven't, you're just 16th or worse on the list.

I don't know that I'll be able to be here tomorrow, so my guess for the third game is that Anand plays 1. e4 and the game is drawn in 21-40 moves :)

I'm so sorry Superqueen, unfortunately you can't make predictions for Game 1 and Game 2 anymore. But you can wait until after the end of Game 2 and make a prediction for Game 3 and Game 4. Smile

Ah, thanks!

Game four Carlsen plays 1. c4 and wins in 41-60 moves :)
