Anand Vs Carlsen anther draw ???

At this level of play, anyone winging it would be a fool. Maybe they are trying to take the measure of each other before the sparks fly. Some of the comments here strain credibility. These guys are not patzers and they don't wing it!

The problem with this is that Anand doesn't need to win. He can draw every game and go to the tiebreak. 

i checked your rating  , i don't think (( at your level )) you able to say something better than other peaple higher than you , and they are fools what that makes you ?

The question I'm trying to answer is: Who can we blame more for the drawish games in rounds 1 and 2?

I'd say anand is the one who really wants draws. After all, Carlsen is the Favorite in this match, so Anand is fine with getting draws, and not giving Carlsen much of a chance to win, after which Anand knows his chances of catching back up would be low. I don't blame Carlsen for letting Anand get what he wants in these first 2 games, but I do hope it doesnt continue like this.

Guys, last year in Anand vs Gelfand the first six games were draws. Most games in a match like this between the world's top players are draws, because they are both just too evenly matched. Neither one is going to make a major mistake. Carlsen will probably play more agressive openings later and win some games, but they won't be until later rounds. I'm hoping for a 1.e4 next game! (I'm rooting for Carlsen btw.) 

If only they were fighters like Kasparov right:

Game 5 kasparov down a game:

Best comment I've seen on this match

Carlsen's preparation did seem quite lackluster in his first game with white, not only did he avoid all theory but also commited a serious mistake and was at least slightly worse with the white pieces out of the opening.

His second game was much better, and showed that he does have some good preparation for the match.

If Carlsen tries 1.e4 get ready for the ultra exciting Petroff! There won't be any Sicilians here..For the chance of real thrills Carlsen should play 1.d4 because theres a good chance Anand will go in for the semi-slav (remember how he dismantled Aronian with it at Wijk this year).

The world chess championship match should be atleast 18 or 24 match. Having only 12 match game makes players catious. They are hesitant to try riskier ideas as one defeat is costly. Unlike in 24 match games, you know you have more games for possible comeback.

+1000, what for??

We are not watching draws, we are watching colluding between two of the top players in the world. They look at each other and decide that if the game falls outside prep then they shut it down and agree to a draw.

In case you have forgotten what a draw looks like, play through this game. You might learn something about chess at the same time.

And try playing through the games at tcec. The positions that the computers reach are places that Anand-Carlsen will never see.

The best thing that FIDE can do is to allow Stockfish, Houdini and Komodo to play in the next Candidates. That will stop the colluding straight away...

12 games is too many in my opinion....best of 7 :D

I don't, I am not qualified. I am a spectator. You can't expect more from me.

Buy if you like the way they play, and if you think the 2 games is of championship quality, then we can all go and pretend nothing ever happens. Why waste your time by watching these boring players?

ever one stand bak - sheeza bubblin pot witha lid bout ta blow off.    

who we are to talk against both these players !! they are Anand and Carlesn the best players on the world , so let them do what they like do !!
