Final poll results
Since voting has leveled off and the page takes so long to load up, it's time to eliminate the polls, at least for now. Here are the results.
Anand or Kramnik:
Who will win the world chess championship this fall?
300 votes came in, and the final tallies were:
Anand: 62% (186 votes)
Kramnik: 38% (114 votes)

Based on 200 votes, the results were
Underrated: 38.61% (77 votes)
Rated about where I should be: 47.52% (95 votes)
Overrated: 13.86% (28 votes)
