Zinsch, then the match is in Chennai! Why everybody including MC is complaining about that?
What is your prediction about Anand vs Carlsen?
Sort:
It's all very obvious. If Magnus wins only 1 game more than Anand in the first 8 games, Anand will catch him. Otherwise not.
For the 1st tie-break I would say Anand can win this. If not, Carlsen will take the title.
I Think carlsen Will win 7-5 or 6,5-5,5. Maybe carlsen Won ón the tie breaks?
Carlsen wins.

I think ducks could play a major role in the outcome. Of course weasels will have a say, but the duck-factor may be decisive.

Meh, they should let them play 12 games for the entertainment.
What entertainement ? Neither player has any motivation to play serious chess after the other has won. They can blitz out something at a 2000 level before leaving, but that's about it.
If you want them to play at full strength for 12 games, you have to set up a score-dependant money prize repartition. But I think it would be really mean.
If they're not playing for the title then let them play for the rating.
I think anand still can retain the title. Match events is diffrent from normal games. I think anand have a lot of experience and well around player is my choice. Just see what he did to aronian in wijk this year... I think it will noteable in future chess book as one of memorable game all time

Again, not a real motivation. Except if you make the prizes rating-dependant.
It's not like if they go under 2800 they won't have access to some tournaments anymore...

Seriously? I look at it the other way... Anand will have much better opening prep, but Carlsen will have more stamina since he's a much younger man and in good physical shape. I expect Anand to win the short games and take an early lead, but Carlsen will win the long ones and come from behind. Anand needs to go two or three games up in the first half of the match, or Carlsen will catch him and pass him in the second half. By the latter half of the match, Anand will have already used up most of his killer novelties, and he'll be tiring faster than Carlsen is.
I was thinkin C would slaughter A.
...slaughter?...10-0?...8-4?
You guys are living in a dream world.
To begin with most of these games will be drawn.

If 12 games are played i would predict 7 to Carlsen and 5 to Anand.

I tend to agree with blueemu here (sorry MSC).
So basically, Anand's only wins and draws will be cheap opening preparation tricks ?
The wake-up will be terrible for all Carlsen fanboys...
i look forward to it. i think carlsen is unbeatable though.

Matches are arraganged without titles, why shouldn't this match be enough of a motivation?

Both outstanding players.
Carlsen on a meteoric rise. Highest rated player currently. Eye-popping performance ratings. Seemingly comfortable in all kinds of positions. Has a constrictor style of play, squeezing away his opponent's options one by one.
Anand, on the other hand, has made a career out of beating Super GM's in match play, and he has five World Champion titles to show for it. He's a highly tactical player (one of the most accurate players of all time) with world-class defensive capabilities. He's not a pushover by any means.
They both play 2800-level chess. Both capable of, and have been known to, produce brilliancies.
Anand is a serious prep-monster. Carlsen will have to steer the games in unusual directions if he's going to win.
Likewise, Anand will have to keep things in familiar waters, or Carlsen will grind the wins from seemingly even positions.
Either way, I don't think it will be one-sided at all. I think it will be a very close fight, with lots of sharp, tactically-complex maneuvering.
Well, my prediction 9 months ago that Carlsen will win 3 up, and if Anand dares too much, with 4 up, has stand the reality. And also my prediction that Carlsen will play unknown variations of openings and therefore winning in the bushes of the unknown.
That makes me the indisputable winner of this contest. What a pity that it was not a serous contest. So I get no price...What a pity for me. But maybe someone will take this message serious. At least in that case I have something to laugh about. Good laughing is worth something too.
Because the gap in ELO-rating simply was too big between the two players. The match was no match, but a very predictable demonstration how far better Carlsen is.
In this internet world, I don't know why 2 people have to come "physically" in front of each other to play a chess match!
Carlsen and Anand can play from their respective homes coupled with a few FIDE officials at both ends, and the match will be of course live!
Good?
It's not the same thing. Not at all. Makes me wonder, whether you ever played in a real life tournament.
