Everybody's opinion does matter to someone. Therefore, there is some inaccuracies in what you are saying.

He is going to be World Champion.....

There is still a mathematical chance that Anand can come back, so here is yet another inaccuracy.

But in its entirety you do have valid points, but just refrain from showing so much emotion, imperturbability is paramount in chess and everything in life. That is all.

Thank you, Mr. Spock.

A 5% chance is a 5% chance whether it is a bum or world champion... I'd put his chances much lower, IMO. Carlsen has White two times, correct? Assuming Anand is swinging for the fences in all three, I'd guess he has about a 2% chance.

I'm not taking anything away from Anand and think he will go down as one of the greatest of all times, but I'm not sure there is anyone who could take 3 in a row against Carlsen the way he is playing.

I tacitly concur with your assumption, however there is still a chance.

Here is the game. Still not sure why this a blunder

29. Rh4 Qxh4. And White has no more attack and is down a rook for a pawn.

This is why it's a blunder.

But the game was lost already anyway when the pawn was promoted. Maybe it was a blunder or maybe Anand made that weird move on purpose, but that move certainly didnt make any difference on the outcome. Or am I missing something?

Just read Carlsen hired security guards. He recieved threats not to show up for his next game. That is what my friend told me just now.

On ChessBase site, they have some line with g6 instead of Bh3, probably software generated, were white is even the better of a probable draw.

You mean it is 99,9% done

Anand maybe wins 1 out of 8 times. He has to win the next 3 games + the tie break. So 8 x 8 x 8 x 2 = 1024, so his chance is 1 : 1000

Anand was done before the tournament started.....

And no this is not my first time saying this in public forum and i did it before the tournament started. His chicken little routine before the tournament started against The Young Tiger!

"How does using the same logic as diversifying an investment portfolio translate into chess, brah?"

If you put in 1 dollar and get 2 back with a risky investment then you double your money. If you play it safe as Carlsen is doing you only get .5.

There are already other threads making the same claim about Carlsen and playing for draws.

As white, he hasn't gambled anything and only won one game. Instead of accepting a draw, Anand took 2 chances which failed.

You seem to forget that in chess, it's not about taking risks... it's about calculating.

You seem to forget, people want wins not calculated draws.

You seem to think that chess is always a win for white... you have no proof of that.

Winning a good game is not only designed for white. I never claimed this. You are hanging yourself. Shut up and listen to Susan Polgar now http://chennai2013.fide.com/anand-carlsen-video-with-commentary/

1st: I am not talking.
2nd: Who are you to think you can control other people?
3rd: To be able to win, you must be able to not lose. If you have proof that not playing solid chess provides better results show it.

Have a nice day.

Yes, I agree with you that his mentality is indeed stronger, however a mindset to win can translate into possible oversight which will allow Anand a chance. You should read my post(#19) on http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/guess-carlsens-seconds, it will give you some insight on how seconds should be picked in the future. Also, I do like quoting the art of war ONLY when it completely necessary. If Carlsen picked seconds as I advocated then his victroy would have be an inevitability.

Good post on seconds. A well balanced team to train/discuss/strategize each game.

A mindset to win does not really have the translate into possible oversight.

The mindset that you are going to win perhaps, or the mindset that you cannot lose more so.

But a mindset to win means facing each challenge as it comes up. E.g. a football team set on winning the Grey Cup would probably go about looking at week 1, not looking ahead to week 2. After week 1 then they look to week 2.

Thanks. LOL, why did you use Grey cup huh, you assume becuase i am canadian that I watch the CFL, you racist brah. No, but in all seriousness are you racist brah. LOL. For real, i agree with you that a good team does indeed compartmentalize the goals and objectives, thus harmnony is achieved, but many teams with the better talent have lost due to oversight. A better example of a team having weekly goals and winning the World champsionship would have been the 2004 NE Patroits.

Come on, all you guys up north of the border watch the Cup, that and hockey ..... with a nice fresh order of Poutine .... mmmmm, Poutine.

NE in '04 or the '72 Dolphins.

Good example of a team losing sight of the goal was the 90-91 Runnin' Rebels of UNLV (arguably the best team in the nation at the time with 5 players getting ddrafted by NBA teams) when they lost to a good but inferior team in Duke in the semi-finals. They should have won. But that game with Duke you could tell they were looking ahead.

I am disgusted at your racism brah, disgusted lol. Duke went on to beat the Fab 5 also that year. Duke was the epitomize what a well coached team can do against better talent.

its a shame people have to do to things, bring up the race card, and insult eachother, one you did, the other the other guy did, now I can agree that yes a team better set on winning their championship was the 04 Pats, or the 72 Dolphins, but my personal favorite is the 07 Pats (lost the superbowl because of *** ******* got lucky)they won every game of the season until the superbowl doing it on all 3 sides of the ball, Brady broke the single season TD record in terms of passing and Moss did it recieving,They dominated quite a few teams by scores like 42-13, 38-7 and others that were just as bad, And so I don't sound like a bandwagon Patriots fan (I ain't I've liked them since I started watching American Football) I will name a few players from before the Brady-Bellicheck era, Bledsoe, Plunkett, Vrable, Flutie, Vinitieri, and A coach, Bill Parcells

lol about the racism stuff. But my kind of guy that knows the history of the Pats. That '07 superbowl was tough brah I really wanted to see the perfect season.

dude ,i can say dude right, anyway aint no problem with people saying that they are fiercely loyal to a country, but discriminating is wrong no matter how you put it. (kinda your next comment but whatever)
