Anand vs. Carlsen

Who do YOU think will win the upcoming world chess championship match? Will is be World Champion Magnus Carlsen or the Candidates winner Viswanathan Anand? Comment Below

come on

This time Anand has nothing to lose! Nobody expected Anand to win candidates. So who knows? Anyway, we are going to witness great games!

I would have thought it would be Carlsen vs. Anand with the defender first.

I think Anand is going to win too

Ahem ...I predicted Anand would win the candidates tournament.

I don't think he will win the match though. I do think he will put lots of pressure on carlsen in a few games out of the opening and may even win a game or two. But I predict carlsen will win the match. I don't think a and will outplay carlsen in any endings. It's also hard to see carlsen outplaying a and in the opener my either though. But carlsen will be able to diffuse opening advantages a and might get easier than anand and I'll escape late middlegame and endgame pressure from carlsen.

Just my opinion

lets see.. that is a great arguement for carlsen though

I'm actually kinda rooting for Anand - he just seems like such a lovely person compared to Carlsen!

If only chess was a personality contest.

How many of these threads are there? Can't there be just 1 Carlsen VS Anand 2014 thread?

No surprises so far. I knew anand could do some monster prep from his match with kramnik.
