Odds are Svidler will win. However, in elimination format, anything can happen, one slip and you are gone. Just ask Wesley So, Ding Liren,etc. All the final 8 are 2700 players, so they are all very tough. I am pulling for the kid to make it to the finals, would be great if he plays in the Candidate tournament.
Wei Yi vs Peter Svidler
Sort:
I'd bet on Svidler just because he has a plus score against Carlsen and beat Kasparov in his first game against him
