Although, now that Vishy knows Carlsen's style of play, he will have a better chance. This'll be close.
Who are you supporting in the upcoming rematch b/w Anand and Carlsen ?
Sort:
well i am an indian so defimitely anand...!!
but sure carlsen has upper hand...:D
"now that Vishy knows Carlsen's style of play, he will have a better chance"
After four years of playing each other and dozens of games Anand had 6-1 in wins against Carlsen. That was up until and including year 2010. Since then Carlsen has 5-0 and the total is 6-6. I don't think Anand realised Carlsen's style of play first at the end of 2013. If anything it looks as if Carlsen's score has gotten better the better the players know each other's style, even if I more think it has to do with playing strength.

I support both. I hope Anand will find a way to crack Carlsens play because it would become more exciting this way I think. Then Carlsen would have to rethink something.

Personally, I would like to see Anand get his revenge on Carlsen, but at this level it is always about talent and if Carlsen proves more gifted, what can anyone do?
I am an great admirer of Carlsen. I believe he will undoubtedly break many records. Like most people here (who acknowledges Magnus's potential) I still respect Vishy, expect an more 'fighting" match, but ultimately concede to an Carlsen win.
Heh. I'm supporting Anand all the way!
Vishy is one of my favourite player although his not Russian. I am gonna support him.

Vishy Anand will roar to his sixth crown in Norway.
I'll just quote you for now. So that when Magnus wins this year for the second time, I'll requote it again for my amusement.
Magnus has a different strategy before this match and I think he will succeed this time too ... Sure we support him and I hope he wins! 
i hope this time they both play 1e4 games so that we would be able to see razor sharps plays by both players.
Anand will win!

Yes, Anand was so "relaxed" that he couldn't spot Carlsen's blunder (26.Kd2) or capture with the right pawn 28...axb4 instead of cxb4.
In terms of skill, yes. However, Carlsen has a great deal steelier nerves and greater stamina.

Anand is equal to Kasparov and stronger than Carlsen
Hmmm... Anand's best was during his match with kasparov. Do you remember what the score was in that match?
I believe I recall some egostic comments to Anand following the World Championship of 2013.
