#CarlsenAnand - Sochi 2014 Prediction Game
Sort:
game 5:1 d4 Anand wins 40-60.
For old players it's until 1h before the game 5.
Mark299, only 1 predict per round.
I predict that Carlsen will win another game (or more) before the tourney is over.
1 hour left! :)

We reached 8000 views, just btw. 
CLOSED for new players, wait until the next 2 rounds. "Old" players can still bet, 14 more hours to do it.
Hmmm your threads are always very well viewed. The last one with fewer than 1000 views was posted on 13th January 2013.
That's interesting stat. I always have something that involves other members too, that's probably the reason. Not sure about my (lame) puzzles though. 
G5 : 1 d4, 41-60, Draw
G6 : 1 e4, 41-60, Carlsen Wins

Once again the rules.
Here is a forum post for all who want to bet without losing any money! Rules are simple: post your prediction, play fair and enjoy the show in Sochi.
You can fill in your predictions until 9 pm GMT of the rest day, so the day before the two games (so 21:00 GMT or 22:00 CET or 16:00 EST or 13:00 PST or 0:00 local time in Moscow/Sochi). Predictions are following:
- Winner of the game or draw (5 pts)
- Number of moves for white (3 pts)
- First move (2 pts)
Example: Draw, 40-60, 1.Nf3
You can choose (options):
5 points: Carlsen / Anand / Draw
3 points: -20 / 21-40 / 41-60 / 60+
2 points: One of 20 legal first moves for white.
There will also be a consolation 1 point for a bettor who gets all 3 predictions correct, but fails to score a point in the next game.
For those who have already played the game and haven't predicted yet: You have about 45 left to bet on R5 & R6.
Ok, that's it. Good luck!
You're welcome to comment the game here, too. :)
d4 and looking good for the draw, but making 40 moves might be tough.
What a simple, but heavily complicated game at once. Anand have a slight edge at the moment.
