would it be the greatest comeback in chess history

Well, how to put this delicately? Hmm...... ok, if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump it's butt every time it jumped.

 

But yeah, it would be the greatest comeback in chess history I'm sure.

Hmmm... Anand has not beaten Carlsen in how many years? 4ish? He has not beaten Carlsen in the first 9 games of this series. So winning the last 3 games, two of them with black (and then he would need to win the tie-break as well) would be nothing short of a miracle, and without knowing chess history that well, I would assume it`s the biggest comeback in chess. Ever.

The market view: on betfair you can get between 200 and 790 times your money back if Anand wins.. (Big spread) Guess the odds of Anand winning translates to between 0,13%-0,5% or thereabout to win... The only reason I can think of the odds being that high would be death or serios illness (to Carlsen). Infact I`ll try and lay the bet at a mere 500 and see if I get any takers...

I think since the last time Anand won (3 years & 1 month ago) the score is something like 6-0 (Carlsen winning) with about 27 draws or so. Well OVER 30 GAMES since Anand won. Cough, do the math, cough.
