The 2012 World Championship of Chess!

Quite obvious that the last thing Gelfand wants is a draw ...

There's a tie break? I thought 6-6 and the current champ kept his title.

Is it considered improper in this situation for Anand to offer a draw? Should he wait for Boris do so instead?

Anand looks like he's ready...

Yep. Tie-breaks if necessary.

Anand is very well prepared in Slav.Gelfand should change his strategy or unleash a well -prepared novelty if he wants to have some chance for a win with white.

Darn, again. The moves that the GMs find obvious, like Black's last two moves of b6 and Rd6. Not obvious to me at all. Obvious only after I hear the explanation.

He sure does. He looks almost annoyed.

Well, I definitely prefer Aronian to Kramnik, Anand or Gelfand.

Anand is Scottish?

Yes , his family were highlanders

How we 16oo's play!!!! No draws with us.  Bang, bang bang, win!  Bang, bang, bang, lose!  

There is always a result  

Maybe tomorrow on their rest day, these guys should play with us and we will sure give them a run for their money, hehe 

Orsh, a Celtic fan then?

There definitely wouldn't be a draw if I played Anand.

Gelfand has definitely shown that he is Anand's equal thus far. I tend to think that will put pressure on Anand to play riskier.

Yes they say it's not chess

Does he want to move the knight back and forth? Don't see what it does apart from not weakening your position.

Dunno, but he sure calculated for a looong while before putting the knight there.

lol keju! , btw NIIT = National Institute of Information Technology - they were the pioneers in IT education / training. 

According to GM Naiditsch, Anand is trying to maneouvre the knight to c5 square.

NIIT - Oh thanks backrank !
