Akopian (2657) played 6 rounds so far and his competition has been (January 1999 rating when I did not know the current rating): 1 Chiburdanidze (??) Nominee from FIDE President 2 Antonio (??) 3 Bareev (2682) 4 Georgiev (2672) 5 Movsesian (2640) 6 Adams (2716 Jan) Granted, his first 2 rounds were with relatively unknown players, but his last 4 rounds have been against players rated higher than him (except Movsesian) and rated in the same ballpark (maybe even higher on average) as Kramnik's opponents. Kramnik (2785) played 4 rounds and his competition has been: 2 Tiviakov (2627 Jan) 3 Korchnoi (2673 Jan) 4 Topalov (2682) 5 Adams (2716 Jan) I think people forget how much effort was required to get to the finals, regardless of path.
