Thanks. Some hot pairings I can see:Reg Clucas wrote:Full pairing tree...
this one
Radjabov v Sevian
Wei, Yi v Salem, Saleh (new Asian champion)
Robson v Y. Vovk
while Adams v Maria Muzychuk is certainly intriguing.
If Mickey wins then he probably gets Akobian in round 2 followed by the winner of a second round match Dominguez Perez v Kamsky. (Though Kamsky has a tough round 1 v Melkumyan perhaps)
If he survives all these Americans he probably meets Nakamura.
I cannot see him progressing beyond that point. Though I guess the short matches and rapid games more or less guarantee some upsets.
