I've actually got a bit of a thing for Indian women. Maybe something to do with having an Indian nanny and primary school teacher as a child.
As for marrying, I'll have to ask my wife first:-)

actually because of their rather nut brown skin they dont go to seed as quickly as their western counterparts, plus, and this cannot be over emphasised, they tend to marry younger and will marry someone considerably older, thus, when your an old codger your missus will still be quite young. They know how to give massages as part of the culture, drool drool 🙂
Oh wait, I'm married. crap.

As for arranged marriages...just because they are married does not mean they love each other and do things for each other.
I have met a few "arranged marriage" couples and they hate each other.
I am surprised some cultures still do it.

Originally posted by Tactics and EndgamesAh yes, but does she massage you when you are stressed out? Vishy Anands does. Its not the way it is portrayed. it basically works like this, you see someone you would like to get to know, you ask your parents if they can arrange for you to meet, they talk to the girls parents to see if she wants to marry, if she does, you meet her, spend time getting to know her, then if you like each other, you make a proposal of marriage to her father through your parents. If she accepts you marry. Its not like you are forced to marry her, or she is forced to accept. It still happens that way in some places, but not so common. What this is doing in the chess forum i dont know, anyhow Vishy is king and will remain the king 🙂

Originally posted by Tactics and EndgamesNo. Anand. I've been going over their games all day. The only edge Topalov has is that he probably wants it more but that alone isn't enough. Read his interview on the main website. He's already attacking the other camp out of fear. Just read it.
LoL Topalov will win.
(The people I know were forced into marriage...anyways)
TOPALOV WILL WIN!!

Which is true, Anand is so popular in in his homeland he could have easily got someone to sponsor more cash.
Any of the other stuff was not an attack on Anand either.
I am going by the interview at www.anand-topalov.com

Originally posted by Tactics and EndgamesYes but if you notice the questions had nothing to do with that. They were all filler like, "Where are you staying?"... Anything negative came out of Topalov's mouth. Besides, if he didn't like the prize money he didn't have to sign the contract, my point is, stop whining and play!

No, Anand asked for the postponement.
Anand is the trouble maker, not Topalov 😏
