He can't be stopped, he can't >be contained he is da man! Play the Rocky Balboa music!!! He is playing very strongly. However, today, the game was most interesting in that he was winning, then he made a move that led to a draw, then Anand played a move that should have lost the game, followed by a bad move by Kasparov that turned the loss into a draw again... etc. But you are right, it does seem that no one at Linares can even stay on the board with him. It is almost like he 'doesn't belong' there at all, as he is giving _everyone_ there a chess lesson when they play him.
