I would also say that the event hasn't grasped my imagination in the same way that the London candidates did. Whilst I haven't had a lot of time to look at the games I haven't found them that exciting.
Can't rule Topalov out just yet, he is a bit of a comeback king.
Note that we haven't seen a Berlin in the Candidates yet whereas London was full of them. Many exciting games already if you look.
