 I can say with 100% certainty that Topalov will NOT win the Anand-Kramnik match.

It will be close, but I do agree.

Anand may aswell go home now, Kramnik is gonna bang him... There should be some great chess played.

I am surprised to see Anand take the lead in only the third game! Since most of their meetings draw in the past, by far. 

I see someone saying Kramnick has weak nerves?! No, no ... he only has a weak bladder~!  :)

If Anand wins again today (he has white) and Kramnik goes 2 down the match is over. Let's face it, Kramnik's style isnt suited to come back from a 2-0 deficit......he is NO Fischer afterall !!

Good job by Anand once again. Can anyone think of another match in which black won twice in 5 games, but white didn't win even one?

Looks like White just won today. Anand is now running away with it.

Nice job, Vishy.

Anand is simply THE best, and Kramnik is just a good grandmaster and a nice boyTongue out

I prefer Kramnik's style to Anand's, also I really dislike the idea of the championship being decided in a tournament which makes it impossible for me to completely accept Anand as champion. Kramnik giving Anand a good thrashing will do much to take away any credibility the tournament "FIDE" world champions have or have ever had. (much like topalov's loss did last year)

 Anand has now dominated Kramnik in their match so I now hope you completely accept Anand as world champion ?  Laughing

No more predictions possible.  This one is in the bag for Anand.  Congrats, undisputed world champion!!!!

Looking forward already to Kamsky v Topalov

Also looking forward to Candidate Carlsen

Of course! I'm happy for Vishy, he completely deserves his title...although it feels a little weird not to have a Russian Champ.Laughing

Good job Anand... bring on Topalov!

Carlsen vs. Anand will be a great match. But not yet, as we saw in a recent rapid match between them.

congratulations to anand, even though i like both players equaly.

Kasparov on the Anand-Kramnik match in Bonn :  " This result ends the illusion that Kramnik is a great match player."  The rest of Kasparov's remarks can be found on www.chessbase.com

BaronDerKilt

Yes, think I'll go with Anand on this oneLaughing

Just reading thru and seeing Topalov's name mentioned. Anand-Topalov ? Well that sounds Very Interesting~! Interesting Chess-wise ... and of course we will learn how often Anand goes to the Rest Room Wink
