MrDamonSmith

I think most GM's are rooting for the best of them all......Emory Tate.

Interesting question. There has been surprisingly little comment by top GMs (superGMs) about the games, although I guess most of those people aren't active on the internets, so it's only people who blog/tweet regularly (like Nakamura, Kasparov) that have voiced an opinion. I suppose we will hear more after the match is over, as some may be respectively maintaining silence until it's finished.

Carlsen, because he is moving chess forward.

The top GMs would want to see the prizes in chess tournaments rise, so the question could be, "who is more marketable?." Who can draw the sponsors? Methinks Magnus.

is magnus more marketable because he is a western player, honest question 

 

or is other factors as well

Pre_VizsIa

because he's young and new?

Carlsen is a young non-Russian player who is completely dominant over the rest of the world and doubles as a male model.  I don't need to explain any further.
