Mexico 2007

There will be a world chess championship by FIDE in Mexico in Sept 2007.
Whom I am rooting for? Silly question
Of course Anand!! I hope and think he will win. Only problem can be long games where he may lose patience, hope not!!
This will be really big tournament. Almost everyone has a chance.
But of course big three are Anand, Kramnik and Aronian in that order.
Leko can be a real threat.
Moro can decide the outcome by his unpredictable play but can not win.
Svidler needs more hunger.
Gelfand has had lot of opportunity but never been in the real top....
Grischuk is appears to be only outsider though is known to be talented but lately enjoying Poker more than chess.
I bet on Anand.
Want to get up early and finish work and be back by 2 for watching games live.

I want to be an IM

Ha Ha Ha!!
This is my small time dream! Not at all a priority.
I want to play lot of tournament chess and be an IM. I want to play first FIDE rated event in Jan2008 at Brownsville, TX.

Wish me Luck!!

let me know what it takes to be an IM?
