However, the statistics look strange. For example, Adams and Anand have the following players remaining: Adams Anand ----- ----- B Anand W Adams W Leko W Leko B Huebner B Huebner B Akopian 1.5 B Kramnik 2.0 W Khalifman 1.5 W Deep Junior 2.5 Adams has already beaten Kramnik. This is Kramnik's first loss in 83 games. I doubt he will lose to Anand, most likely a draw. It appears that Adam's remaining opponents are slightly easier with the exception of him having black against Anand. If he can draw that game, he can possibly win the tournament. KarinsDad :)
