No idea, but he is clearly several steps ahead the rest of the players
(except Kramnik). I think the only player that could beat him now
would be Kramnik in a match, where the chances would be about equal
(by the way, a match Anand-Kramnik would be great for chess). But a
tournament with this format is far better for Anand than for Kramnik
because of their styles.
