"The World Chess Championship Match 2013 will consist of 12 games and if necessary, tie-break games.

The FWCM will be played according to the schedule below in November 2013:

This is Magnus Carlsen. He's a good chess player.

This is Viswanathan Anand. He's good too.

As much as I'm excited about this match, I'm not sure if I'll be able to watch it, considering that the games will start at 4:30 AM in my time zone...

Starts around lunchtime for me, but I'm working :(

Probably I'll catch the ends of most games.

I'll probably be waking up at about 8:00 am every morning they play in order to see the end of each game. We'll probably still be able to see the most exciting parts, beerpatzer;)

indian dude vs a car, blah blah blah. get on with real life.

cool thread

Maybe this one should become 200 000 views+ thread as the one from trysts for Candidates. :)

Only 2 days to go, guys!

I'm watching EVERY game even though I have to start watching at 5:30 am. I don't care if I'm working that particular day or not, I'm still watching it. The people I work with and around are just gonna have to understand. Ill make sure my phone charger is with me.

Normally I don't care too much about the openings but this match is going to be VERY intriguing because of the mind games related to opening choices and prep. I'm ready.......... bring on the excitement

Those two pictures above are funny. If a non player saw those and didn't know the friendly history between the two they'd think Carlsen was a mean player with a cold blooded demeanor and Anand was a very friendly and kind player that just played for the fun of it.

Let's predict average moves per game 1-12.

I say 38,9

And also I said before that it will be 6,5 - 3,5...

57.5

50.5

Is the Crusher in the cartoon supposed to be Carlsen or Anand?

In the picture posted "Carlsen playing a serious game of chess", is that Liv Tyler?

Poor Liv, she looked bored. She was probably just trying to pretend she was interested in chess to be polite. Magnus should've been doing anything other than chess with her.

Liv: My cheeks are starting to get tired from all this fake smiling and schmoozing. Note to self: fire my agent for comming up with this gig, heck, I'd rather sit through one of dads old concerts than this.
