Predict the World Cup results and become famous ...

[John McKenna]

Brian, is that you?

The "winner" of the prediction competition is -
Barry Sandercock who claimed his right in the main World Cup thread with "Karjakin... as I predicted at the start".

(And, in case you ask, this is really me.)

I have been supporting Svidler and Eljanov from the start - Svidler because he is such a nice guy and Eljanov because I've always picked him to go through. Now we get to business end then I'll perform a volte face and go for Giri and Karjakin with Karjakin to prevail in the Final. I cannot really think of any logic to support those picks and in Svidler's case I hope I am wrong, but there you go.

You were right about Karjakin winning it
