Does anybody know? To me it seemed like he was peeking around the World Chess Championship matches versus Anand, he played very well although lost. Since then it seems like he hasn't played as well, and lately I can't seem to find him playing anyone, anywhere! Do you have any intel on this? Did the loss against Anand take him down that much? It seems that way to me. Or is there some other reason? Everybody needs a holiday sometimes, yes, but it's been a long holiday now. And I miss his great chess.

He got married since. He's rich. He became World Champion, and then lost the title. Now what?

I think his priorities lie elsewhere right now.
