World Championship Mexico 2007

1 Month to go now until the opening ceremony takes place and little much high level chess to speak of until it starts.

The current voting on my poll is favouring Kramnik, no surprise there really given that he is the current Champ, Anand, Aronian and Morozevich have all received at least one vote, a little surprised noone's money seems to be on Leko. Still plenty of time to vote though so if you are visiting the blog please cast your vote on the sidebar.

Follow this link for the Official site where you can get all the latest information. I followed the registration as much as I could (the end page is in Spanish) in order to hopefully receive a newsletter, which looks like it will contain detailed analysis of each player in turn, compiled by GM Mihail Marin.

I have 2 Marin books and enjoy his penmanship so hopefully these analysis will be very interesting.

Does Leko ever win tournaments!?

Good point T, but he did qualify in some respect to play the match against Kramnik. His form this year has been very solid.
