This is my favorite. Anand just after he resigned Against carlsen in tal memorial. It was the last clasical game before the World championship match so the game was important.

Here is the picture
Looks as if Carlsen is going to win the match with Anand.
I only tryed to find how many matches ( in clasical chess ) Carlsen played against strong players - I couldn't find any.
It will be curious to see if he is so strong in playing matches. It is proved that it is different from playing in tourneys.
I would NOT want Anand to look at me like that and then have to face him in a match ... I think payback is brewing ...
jimmie_cecil is correct
Correct how?
Didn't say anything?? Just posted pictures.
