Anand 1.5
Gelfand 1.5
What a game! Instead of playing quiet, positional opening with black pieces, Gelfand played Grunfeld again and almost lost the game.
I hope to use one of this 😀 😵 🙄 smilies tomorrow
the Grunefeld, when asked about entry to the UK, he quipped that it must be the
Grand Prix attack 🙂

maybe they should make it longer match and the Champion(or even Challenger) to get the title in case of equal match..in this case there will be in every game one player that must win in order not to loose the match...unlike now when they both look happy with the draws...

There are only two problems with this WC match.
1. The rock-paper-scissors candidates process, which was created to ensure "exciting chess."
2. The fact that it's not Aronian v. Carlsen.

Originally posted by WilfriedvaI watch it after. So I can skip the adds. Problem with watching it live is that after an hour or so I start to question what am I doing with my life. Chess is just not a spectator sport. Better to look at the game later. Chessnetwork on youtube has a good 10 min replay of the games.
I wonder how you guys watch these games.Do you just sit in front of the screen waiting for the next move?
