If you look at the performance of the last 2 SUPER TOURNAMENTS, you will see that Anand didn't do so good. Anand can "easely" win against a 2600 ELO player but it seems not to be as fermorment against 2700 ELO and more player. For your information, I am not an Leko fan thus especially when I see that he did draw all his games in Linares which I do not approve. regards
