My guess:

1  Kasparov, Garry  g  RUS  2812  12  1963-04-13 (Retired)
2  Anand, Viswanathan  g  IND  2785  25  1969-12-11 (Probably refused or wanted
too much)
3  Topalov, Veselin  g  BUL  2778  25  1975-03-15 (Probably refused or wanted
too much)
4  Leko, Peter  g  HUN  2763  25  1979-09-08 (Probably refused or wanted too
much)
5  Kramnik, Vladimir  g  RUS  2753  13  1975-06-25 (Probably refused or wanted
too much)
6  Ivanchuk, Vassily  g  UKR  2739  17  1969-03-18 (Probably refused or wanted
too much)
7  Adams, Michael  g  ENG  2737  25  1971-11-17 (Probably inked a deal to both
parties liking)

8  Polgar, Judit  g  HUN  2732  13  1976-07-23 (Would have been next)
