Why V.Kramnik arises as a best however V.Anand struggle to breakthrough?

From the last two years,I see that V.Kramnik the great Russian legend played their games of his lifetime to compete with modern super grandmaster....gets some impressive results and proves that age is just a number but as I see V.Anand another great player losses his grip from every competition he played besides candidate tournament. Some players getting starting edge on him.Is it a natural phase of which Anand bounce back or the time is now yet to come for his retirement. Very Important Is the Kramnik changes his style of playing that profits him?What's your opinion?

Who knows. But still, Anand was world champion at Kramnik's current age.

Probably not number 2, though.  ;)

Anand has a kid now. Probably can't study like he used to.

Krmanik has a daughter too, doesn't he?

Unless there are problems, family usually is a help IMO.

Botvinnik-OCZ

Anand is 47 and Kramnik is 41. If Kramnik is 47 he may losing a bit of strength like Anand today.

Kasparov has a daughter named Polina and that never stopped him.

Stop calling Polina that & why should she stop him?

Sorry, sudden memories of the movie 'airplane' ...

Perhaps.  The last report of his rising like a phoenix did not end well ...
