Fantastic!
Let´s hope that he maintains his energy during the whole contest! 
Coffehouse chess a-la-Aronian delivers only against certain opponents. Vishy does not seem to be one of them.

Excluding Cramnik, any other match will be a farce, like it, or not.
Fantastic game.
Personally i'd love to see a revitalised Vishy take on Carlsen again.

That was an interesting anti-Marshall that Vishy played. 11.Nbd2 was new to me. Is it known theory, or did Vishy out-prepare his opponent?
He has played this before, against Caruana, and lost.
Caruana played the sensible 11...f6, not Aronian's speculative 11...Qd7?! gambit.

That´s your opinion and i don´t agree with it. Aronian, Topalov and Kramnik are probably the most interesting matchs vs. Carlsen.

I guess that is slightly tongue-in-cheek, but an interesting point of view. Do you think Aronian is not quite up to it? I was surprised to see Anand do so well as he has seemed out of sorts since the World Championship match, and Aronian has had good results.
Personally I'd like to see them both do well if only to counteract the strong Russian contingent. There seemed to be some slightly premature draws in the first round, though maybe that is understandable as an early loss would be hard to fight back from. I don't think Carlsen would have agreed two of those draws so early though.

Yes, it's my opinion. I guess this was freaking obvious.
If the statement "you like it, or not" was not reffered to the "only truth" but to "that´s my opinion, you like it or not", you were stating "the freaking obvious" first.
Why don´t you look at the speck of sawdust in your eye before? Oh, you are writing for free, that´s why.

Without wishing to sound pedantic,and probably failing, I have to say that to spell Kramnik with a C is an inaccuracy , it might even be termed a blunder.

He probably was in zeitnot.
Never would have seen that coming. Man was I wrong.
Difficult to see where Aronian went wrong: http://goo.gl/e5o9SH
No he had recovery chances way after Qd7. Move 19 Houdini gave .09 so then it was a slow fall from there. Hard indeed to see. But it wasn't Qd7. That was bad, but Vishy didnt take proper advantage from there.
rematch Anand will win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To state aronian's chess is cofee-house is at least disrespectful and, considering it comes from an IM, very arrogant.

Levon himself self-labelled as such, and I come at least second to declare the obvious (after say, Anish Giri).
cofeehouse player is a derogatory title for any GM, especially for Aronian. Max Euwe clearly classifies by cofeehouse the amateurs, and he surely knows better. And yes I'm not nearly as good as any IM -I'm just a beginner- but I can say my opinion as well, so don't go like "I'm 2400+ so, you know better than me???". Please, stop insulting others by "nonsense-you know nothing I know everything" crap and stop being so selfishly dogmatic stating your freaking opinions.
RIP haters :)
