The Sinquefeld Cup is currently going on in St. Louis. Four of the greatest from different parts of the world are meeting to compete for the $170,000 prize money with $70,000 going to the winner. The four masters competing are GM Magnus Carlson, GM Hikaru Nakamura, GM Levon Aronian, and GM Gata Kamsky. Its a double round robing tournament, they will all play each other. Nakamura and Carlson are currently in the lead.
If I were a betting man, I would put all of my money on the highest ranked player in the history of chess, 22 year old Magnus Carlson. He is one of my favorites.
