Thanks Miha. So, three of us still tied for the first.
That's correct! We will see what will happen after Grenke. :D

Zürich Chess Challenge 2015
Choose who you think will finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
The opening day includes 5 rounds of blitz to decide the draw.
The main tournament consists of 5 rounds of classical chess and finally 5 rounds of rapid chess on the closure day.
The combined final score for the tournament is calculated by scoring each game in the classical competition on a 2–1–0 basis and each game in the rapid competition on a 1–½–0 basis. So CLASSICAL + RAPID.
Here is the list of all 6 players:
Bonus are 3 players that will win each section undependently to other sections. You can choose the same or other player for each section. Name the section of the winner you chose (otherwise it will count as blitz-classical-rapid).
You have time for predictions until Feb 13, 2015 - 17:00 GMT.
Bonus players are winners of blitz, classical and rapid part.

Hi checkmeister007, bonus this time is a little bit different. You have to guess who will win each section of the tournament - blitz, classical and rapid.
Zurick chess challenge:
1) Fabiano Caruana
2) Hikaru Nakamura
3) Vladimir Kramnik
Bonus: Standard- Fabiano Caruana Rapid- Vladimir Kramnik Blitz - Hikaru Nakamura
Do we all really believe Naka is going to win the blitz part?
@MSC - do I understand it well that I have to tip winners of all 3 parts correctly to get the bonus points?
I've just noticed that my name is misspelled on the points table. Anyways, gr8 effort Miha!
Nakamura, Kramnik, Caruana
Standard: Nakamura Rapid: Kramnik Blitz: Nakamura

Hikaru, Kramnic and Caruna are my pick
Don't forget your bonus picks, too. Who do you think will win blitz, standard and rapid part. :)
@bagahc, this is really a good question. I was thinking about this like you at first, but then I decided all bonus players give points separately.
@MA10, thank you so much, I had some technical problems and had to re-write all the usernames and mistake happened. It's now corrected in my spreadsheet.
wishwaanand, the tournament is Feb 13 - 19.
Anand, Hikaru, Kramnik(?)
I did not pick Anand due to my nationality but rather the way he passively won the LCC.
Kramnik, Nakamura, Anand
Standard - Kramnik
Rapid - Anand
Blitz -Nakamura
Here you go for GMs, 73 it seems:
