I don't think he's that bad he's still 2750...but he really isn't World Champion material at the moment, and I certainly don't like his attitude. Since Kasparov is unfortunately retired, it appears Topalov will be the next World Champion, unless Anand gets the fire he appears to be lacking at this time. The top three opponents to watch imo is Topalov, Anand and Leko...although Leko tends to be a drawmaster, still he can put on quite a show when he means business, so I won't rule him out. Terry
