	ChessBase.com - Chess News - Dortmund statistics: who will win
		Although Radjabov and Naiditsch are the youngest players, it is Bologan who has the most risky style of play (as evidenced by the fact that two thirds of his games have decisive results), so he is the most likely of the outsiders to put together a string of victories and win the tournament.
		Radjabov - he’s been playing a lot of games against Top GM’s, and I have no doubt he will be one of the top grandmasters in the near future, but, in the meantime, he must watch and learn, hence, the place on the bottom section.
		Radjabov is definately on his way to top level chess, but he si not there yet, he will have another decent result in a supertournament.

		The earlier two encounters between Anand and Radjabov — one here and one in the last Corus meet — had ended in draws and this could have propelled the speed king to draw the first blood in the 12th round.
		The opening choice by Radjabov, a Sicilian Labourdonnais, did not come as a major surprise as Anand took the game move by move.
		Radjabov went berserk looking for a good plan and ended up getting his rook trapped in the middle of the board after a rather uncharacteristic blunder on the 31st move.

		Radjabov travels with his father, Boris, though this time his mother, Leila, also came along because the tournament was so important.
		Leila Radjabov, speaking halting English, groped for a word to describe her elation, then settled for "unbelievable." When her son and Kasparov met for a rematch on Monday, they played to a draw.
		Life for the Radjabovs and other chess families is reduced to a grueling game in which players last longer than tennis stars but tend to peak in their 30s and 40s.

		Radjabov is probably talking about Linares, where he played in 2003 and 2004 and wasn't invited this year.
		At least Radjabov got what he wanted: he is looking for tournament invitations and at least he got his name in the headlines again.
		My personal feeling is that Radjabov is suffering the fate of a lot of promising juniors in chess: his earlier years were a sort of fairy tale story of success after success, and he received a great deal of attention and even adulation because of his youth and promise.

		Radjabov's kingside defences were shredded and Shirov won back all his material to reach a position with queen and three pawns against two rooks and one pawn.

		Radjabov played a game that was probably shorter than some of his short draws, but this time he simply demolished Naiditsch and highlighted the gulf between the talent of the two teenagers.

		Bologan has games against Radjabov and Kramik left in the last two rounds, while Anand is up against Naidistch in ninth and Radjabov in tenth.

		Radjabov said he missed a potentially winning move, rook to f7 instead of queen to f4, in the 26th move, and observers lamented that victory beckoned even if white had continued his attack with his rooks.
