With only 9 votes cast so far, GM Veselin Topalov's top rating doesn't seem to impress in my small poll. The poll has been on here for quite some time and it's on the right sidebar, but only 9 have taken the time to cast their vote. No one thinks there will be a tie and GM Viswanathan Anand is favored 6-3 to win without tiebreaks. I am surprised as Topalov took an early lead in voting and is currently 22 ELO points above GM Anand at 2810 to Anand's 2788, with Wunderkind GM Magnus Carlsen in between the two at 2801. As the match is slowly getting closer, I will put the poll further up so it can be seen easier. With TransWarp out of a Transwarp coil at the moment, to be installed on Dec 03, 2009 at DeepSpace ICC, I have been neglecting to watch much chess online as it's just depressing without TW online. But finally, I will have the funds to put her back online at the above stated date, unless I forget to deposit the gold pressed latinum at that time.
