So, I was out for some days and see what happened! Look at the point-table after round 5. All players have played a match each with other players.
Adams, M 3
Kramnik, V 3
Anand, V 2.5
Ponomariov, R 2.5
Topalov, V 2
Polgar, J 2
Out of 15 games played so far, 11 games ended in draw. All games of Round 2 and 4 were drawn.
Kramnik was interesting to watch so far. He is involved in 3 out of 4 games with a result. He started with win against Ponomariov in Round 1. And then gracefully lost to Adams in Round 3. Round 5 he won against Polgar. Following the trend I expect results in his game in Round 7, 9. Surprise loss for me, Topalov against Ponomariov.
I am Vishy fan, so obviously I was expecting him to get 5 points in 5 rounds. Its tough to beat him, but he is finding it tough to beat others too. He has neither lost or win so far. He should start beating these guys (and the solo woman Polgar). Polgar-Anand had interesting match in round 4.
Lets hope the second round of games be interesting and Anand win the tournament.
