Anand can beat Carlsen. Caruana can beat Carlsen. Radjabov can beat Carlsen. Anyone can beat anyone. Carlsen blundered a move that even a patzer like me saw because he is human and the time controls are low. But can Anand beat Carlsen more often than Carlsen can beat Anand? LOL no.
If it makes you feel better, Anand might get 1 win against Carlsen in the WCC. I know you are indian, and indians have a blind love for Anand that makes them EXTREMELY biased. For example, the indian commentators would favour Anand's position even if Carlsen's better at like +2.
anand can beat carlsen

Anand didn't win. Carlsen blundered
How are you supposed to persuade the Indian fan that Carlsen blundered from a pracically winning position to eventually a losing one?
The OP probably didn't follow the game at all, and in fact just posted here simply on that he saw the result, but not the rest of it.
Anand has no chance vs Carlsen in a classical game match...it was proven last november, and it will be proven again this november.
Like post #1 says, anyone can beat Carlsen, but then again, anyone can beat anyone

that is what i want to tell that even carlsen blunders, and in the game against grischuk carlsen won because grischuk blundered.
I don't understand all the Carlsen fans saying Anand only won because of a blunder. Thats all Carlsen ever does he just plays on drawn positions and waits till someone blunders.
Anand lost several games in the blitz lol. And they were to 2500-2600 players. Carlsen only lost 1 game to Lu shenglei.

indians think Anand can beat Carlsen, just the thought of that makes me laugh, go play cricket or something

Yeh a five time world champions obviously has no chance against Magnus. Lol don't make me laugh go play handegg or something.

So, Euler, you're telling me that Anand can beat Carlsen because the indian grandmaster has been world champion for 5 times? I don't think that matters. Carlsen had zero match experience before going into the world championship, please - read me the result. Do you get my point? He is merciless, precise, strong and young. And if I don't tell you who said it, you could reasonably think it was Magnus:
"To defeat me, you need to beat me once in the opening, once in the middlegame, and once in the endgame".

I like both players. I would sorta like to see Anand win, but I expect Carlsen to win. He is just too strong.

I'm saying you can't just write off Anand completely because he was won the world championship so many times. That proves just how good a player he is, and he's starting to play at his best which he hasn't for the past few years, whereas Carlsen seems a bit out of form to me.

using your logic, someone like Pele can still play in the World Cup & dominate. Anand's prime is done.
and are you frusterated that the US is doing better then England in the World Cup? The US doesnt even care about '' soccer '', yet we are undefeated playing in a hard group unlike England who is 0-2, getting thier ass whooped every game.
stay mad brah

Lol. True that.
Also, like someone said yesterday, apparently England is having a hard time even in their favorite 'Rugby'.

Not to rub it in like Kasporov, but this is not exactly a red letter day for the old country, is it?

Carlsen showed he was human during the WCC--he was obviously nervous in his first few games. But after he found his stride, he appeared invincible.
Anand underestimated him, then overestimated him. Anand didn't believe he could win, and I don't think Carlsen ever felt he was in danger of losing after his initial success.
Though I think Carlsen will in fact defend his championship, I think that if Anand bloodies his nose with a couple of decisisive wins--Carlsen will face a psychological challenge he hasn't faced before. I think Anand can win, but Anand himself will have to believe this, and Carlsen will have to begin thinking he could lose. At the high level these players play in, I think psychology will play a decisive role.
I can't wait! I really like Carlsen--he is a great world champion, an amazing player, and he deserves his accolades--but I simply gotta pull for the old guy!! ;-)

Wignand's hair might distract Carlsen into blundering again. But other than that, I don't see much else happening other than a walk-over for Carlsen...

Anands not past it he's coming back into form. And well done at being undefeated in two matches that's pretty much the same thing as winning it.

Well of course they lost to New Zealand at rugby they have the best team in the world.
Anand once again showed his form and he is definitely the one who can beat carlsen. Anand is undefeated for 27 games now. 12 matches in candidates and 15 in world rapid championship. Also he was the only player to whom carlsen lost. great going vishy.
