So am I....aronian v Anand on Saturday will be crucial
Game...
No more Anand-Carlsen, please. But if Aronian plays like yesterday against Andreikin....then no Aronian-Carlsen match as well, please. 2800 players are not supposed to play as crappy as that until it seems as if Aronian is purposely throwing the game away!!
Anand was so outclassed by Carlsen that I would like to see someone else play him. They will probably be outclassed too, but at least it would make a change. Can't see any of the candidates giving him much trouble really.

Agree with you rajnikant001...the kind of media attention that carlsen-anand got first time in India was surprising..
Anand is a nice guy and a great chess player, but do even diehard fans think he has a chance of beating Carlsen if he wins the candidates?
Myself being a diehard vishy fan believe that he can beat carlsen & if vishy himself didn't believe that he couldn't beat carlsen he never would have taken part at the candidates...if vishy believes his fans believe too.

My read is that Anand choked in the match with Carlsen for psychological reasons. Not that I thought he had a good chance to prevail, but I thought he would put up a harder fight and win a game or two. If Anand wins candidates I think he will give Carlsen a tougher fight this time. Probably he will lose, but the same could be said of the other contenders.

6 rounds into candidates & Anand is the sole leader who would have thought???
