    a deserved champion. compared to him (and with the exception of Gelfand) the others played an average tournament. Let’s just hope that Kramnik will have more ‘cojones’ in the upcoming revenge match.
    Congratulations to Vishy.

    Nice win by Vishy. He had many near misses:
    - Kasparov-Anand 1995
    - Karpov-Anand 1998
    - Anand-Shirov 2001 (Ok, he became F.I.D.E. world champ, but Kramnik’s title was more pretigious)
    - San Luis 2005 (second place with Svidler)
    And many many candidates matches and knock out misses. After all the suffering a well deserved victory. Although he won this tournament in the sole lead and has more élô points than Kramnik, i think the Anand-Kramnik match will be an upset for those who are rooting for Anand ;)
    My girlfriend said, that Anand maybe deserved the victory, she was rooting for Lékó, like me :)
