With a team comprising of Kramnik, Svidler, Grischuk and Morozevich, Russia will be the team to beat. I mean the player on the lowest board for Russia probably has higher ELO ratings than India's top board player... Wish Anand was playing this event...

Everyone wishes Anand to play... considering that he has just won the World chess champhionship and expecting him to play immediately another tiring tourny is silly. so one must be practical.
