Beating an experienced anand in a series of 12 or 15 matches is an extremely tough job considerng what he did to greats like kramnik nd topalov...carlsen is a great tournament player but championship matches are very diffrnt...besides that he wil hav to face tough challenges frm likes of aronian,kramnik in candidate matches and it will b disastrous 4 his market value if he loses in candidate matches itself and doesn make it to championship matches...and even if Carlsen loses 2 anand after wining candidate that will too damage his image tremendously....and by opting out he is definately going to enjoy his popularity again by wining tournament against lower rated players....THERE WAS NO WAY FIDE WAS GOING TO CHANGE THE RULE WHICH HAS BEEN THERE FOR YEARS THAT TOO JUST 4 A PLAYER WHO IS YET TO B A WORLD CHAMP.....HE IS JUST FOOLNG EVERY1 AROUND....
