I think Anand will win a close match. Anand by 1/2 point.

I predict that whoever wins, Susan Polgar will declare herself
Champion.

How do you win by half-a-point?
I think Kramnik will win game one and one other game. Anand will win
game 7 and one other game. Match tied after normal time, Anand wins in
the tie-breaks.

Good point. I forgot that the number of games is limited. Wrong
decade. I'll revise that to Anand by 1 game.

And were the number of games unlimited, it would be then be possible
to win by 1/2? Sometimes the sum of an infinite series is
counterintuitive....

Will they play in a glass cage?

I believe that it is necessary and appropriate?
