Both Anand and Gelfand have played a bit "soft" chess lately, and maybe Anand the most. I would say it is rather open match, but maybe with an edge for Anand. He is after all higher rated.

Anand puzzle blog post is coming soon from me. I plan to continue this little series.

Gelfand, a great technical fighter. Among my favorite players since 80´s until now.

A superb professional and devoted to study chess. He´s a GMA who knows exactly how to win playing ambitiously and taking minimal risks (what seems a contradiction, but for me is a rare achievement).

He has a solid, technical style, universal play, that would be compared to Portisch, Salov, Carlsen, Eljanov, and (why not?) Botvinnik and Tarrasch.

A pity that his chances against Anand are minimal, but... let´s see!
