Ilyumzhinov: "Candidates Tournament faces the uncompromising struggle"

At present it is difficult to predict who would win the Candidates Tournament. This opinion was expressed by the FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov to the TASS news agency.
"The tournament was organized at the highest level in Moscow. The main thing is that there are no easy matches and even the drawn games are held in a tense struggle. Viswanathan Anand scored the major victory in the last two parties and went to leading positions", said Ilyumzhinov.

"It is very difficult to predict the winner. I am sure that the final stages would be uncompromising and spectacular", said the head of FIDE.
