        I honestly have no idea.

        @Victor I would love to see your predictions, maybe Nikolay becomes champion this year. I think some of the top players who are strong maybe haven't played for a while so this should also factor into the decision.

                    I agree with Raja being in the top 3. He has good chances to win it and Shiyam also. Not sure if anybody saw Plotkin vs Panjwani yesterday but it was an interesting endgame with Raja sacrificing a pawn for activity in the middle game where it proved difficult for Victor to convert his extra pawn due to Raja's active King + Rook. I even thought black had winning chances at one point. These next few rounds will be interesting no doubt!

                          Thanks Francis.
                          From round three onwards his game has not been on the DGT boards or transmitted.
                          I have never seen him withdraw from a tournament after a bad loss. He seems to have a higher respect for the game and his fellow players to ever do that. I could not believe the results .

                            Nikolay has been all class throughout, as usual!

                              I was sitting beside Nikolay in rd 5 and he was playing Keith MacKinnon. How did Nikolay win that game? He's a chess genius. When I saw the position it was two rooks and a pawn vs a bishop and knight and four pawns, and before that both sides were wildly attacking each others king positions. I d love to see that scoresheet.
