the Candidates

Personally I support Praag but if I have to be honest the chances of him winning is unlikely, he has good chances to have a good tournament though ! Vidit is doing well and I believe all he needs to do is lock in but it is hard to do . Gukesh probably is the indian with the highest chance but all the expectations of him winning from where he is now might make to overconfident !

Overall players such as Ian and hikaru have good chances but I personally like to look at the underdogs rather than other players. Abasov is not really going to do great but it is an amazing experience for him holding down top players such as hikaru with a draw and staying firm whilst holding his ground!

Overall, I know I did not cover everyone just pointing it out but if Gukesh holds his ground he can make it possible for a win. I believe that it is only the early rounds and anyone can make a comeback. These are just my predictions and it might not be the same as you !
