FIDE WORLD CUP FINAL
Will Ding Liren be the first Chinese grandmaster to win the FIDE World Cup? Or will Levon Aronian pull off a victory? Share your thoughts!
Aronian is in my opinion the favorite but he is capable of self destruction, is this were MVL vs Ding then there would be no doubt but Aronian struggles with pressure so I'd say the chances are 60-40 for Aronian.
But then when faced with a guy like Aronian, it becomes a bit difficult to predict - simply because Aronian is unpredictable. He has Ivanchuk mood swings as well, though less regular.
I think the chances are about 55-45 in Aronian's favour. It'll be a close match.
Zurab Azmaiparashvili will win the world cup and the Candidates Tournament. I think we will have a new World Champion next year.
