Dear Peter, it seems to me that there are clear favorites:

>Tiviakov-Kramnik      Kramnik is too strong for Tiviakov, although it's interesting that the later now living in The Netherlands. Does anyone know if he plays for The Netherlands too?

>Ponomariov-Topalov    Topalov, though recently off-form is still too experienced and strong.

>Ehlvest-Bareev        Bareev is red hot now and will win.
>Gelfand-Speelman      Gelfand will win
>Kamsky-Khalifman      This will be interesting. At their best, Kamsky is the strongest , but he's been inactive for a couple years, so my $ is on Khalifman.
>Shirov-Sokolov        Shirov, the world's #2 rated player should win easily.

To all readers, I'm sorry for continuing a non-computer post, but I think we are
all following this FIDE event so hopefully this can be excused.
