Starts on Monday. I hope there will be some good free coverage somewhere. There are many possible outcomes - and I can't choose amongst them: * Gary thrashes DJ. Quite likely - Amir isn't as clever as Frans (look at the way he allowed Kramnik to make him look silly with such an easy victory with the Stonewall attack at Dortmund), and I assume he doesn't have Alex Cure (called "the fox" by Robert Hyatt) to help him with any opening problems Gary exposes. * DJ outplays Gary. Unlikely (Gary will have been working with the latest copy of DJ and will know what its game is like) - but not beyond the bounds of possibility * Repeat of GK v DB 96 * Repeat of GK v DB 97 (though hopefully Gary will have learned to react in a more mature way if DJ plays unexpectedly well in a particular game) * mostly (or all) draws * many other possibilities I think that Gary will be able to beat DJ. If this happens, then the possibility remains open that DB 97 really was much stronger than PCs will be for a long time. If DJ wins, it will be more difficult to make the case that DB 97 will remain much stronger than PCs for a long time to come. Looking forward to next week! -g
