Podium Prediction Plus (PPP) - "Final STANDINGS"
Sort:
And Russia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Abkhazia and probably even Lebanon. Oh Come on, these are Asian for the most part.
@pdela, Check comment #190 for a 'detailed' reason why not Tbilisi.
@MA10, not sure what you wanted to ask, but of course all players are allowed to participate in this PPP and not only European players are playing on ECh. :)
Ok, Anand is the 2nd bonus as he won the classical part.

lucky man
anand already won and in thisform he will certaintly win the rapid.
This was... well, strange. Not sure why organisers changed the rules last minute. Nakamura won the event, Anand is a moral winner.
Kramnik won the rapid part!
Final standings:
1. Nakamura
2. Anand
3. Kramnik
Bonus: Aronian (blitz), Anand (classical), Kramnik (rapid)
I also got nothing 
Wait, I guess I get 2 points for guessing that Naka and Anand would be in the top three 
First of all, thank you NewArdweaden for the link. I should include it somewhere, maybe in the original post. On p14, I will post rules for ECh! 
ThomasJEvans is the winner of PPP - Zürich Edition. He's the only one who guess the whole podium correctly, congratulations!
LesuhAn is now the solo leader of the PPP!

European Championship 2015
Choose who you think will finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
The tournament is held in Isreal and consist of 11 rounds. You can choose any player (each only once) on the list posted below for the podium places and one player outside Top 30 for the bonus player. Perfect combination gives you 13 points. Good luck!
List of all players on ECh:
Click HERE
Bonus is player outside Top 30 (rating <2650), who you think will finish the highest in the final standing list. Choose him according to the rules, otherwise it won't count. Bonus is worth 3 points.
You have time for predictions until Feb 24, 2015 - 14:00 GMT.
^ Ian's surname is more complicated than that. The best is just to copy-paste it.
1. Navara
2. Bacrot
3. Nepomniachtchi
Bonus: Volokitin Andrei
Rating must be lower than 2650. This excludes Smirin. The first one possible then is Postny (Evgeny).
Ok, European Championship is coming out soon! It should be out tomorrow after Zürich's conclusion! Be aware of the bonus. This time, it will be a player outside the top 30 (31 actually, because 2 players have the same rating on the 30th place).
why not tbilisi Grand Prix higher level tourney than ECC
