Now two very knowledgable spectators – both multiple World Champions – have given us their predictions, discussing the chances of the candidates:

Coverage from Toronto

After struggling with visa problems – like a number of the Candidates playing in the tournament, Sagar Shah, founder and CEO of ChessBase India succeeded in obtaining the necessary stamp in his passport and a plane ticket. On March 30 he arrived in Toronto.

From the capital of the province of Ontario, located along Lake Ontario’s northwestern shore, Sagar will be providing daily reports on the most exciting chess event of the year. We will be receiving video impressions and interviews in his inimitable style. Looking forward, Sagar!
