Hey I hope everyone is having a good morning / night / afternoon.

So just a little introduction for anyone who may or may not be interested...

The World Chess Championship 2013 Match
The first game will start in approximately 4 hours from now.

Venue: Chennai, India
Duration: 12 games
Game Time: 4:30 AM EST (3 PM local time)

Viswanathan Anand (India)
The Defending World Champion
FIDE rating 2775
World rank: #8
Age 43
[image loading]

vs

Magnus Carlsen (Norway)
The Challenger
FIDE rating 2870
World rank: #1
Age 22
[image loading]

Important Link!!

Leave any comments, thoughts, or anything pertaining to the match, the players, chess, or anything else you'd like to discuss. Cheers!!

EDIT:
The general consensus appears to be that Carlsen is the heavy favorite due to ratings and recent superior tournament results but Anand has much more match experience, having successfully defended his title twice (in 2010 and 2012) after winning it in 2008.

Some hilarity...

Sergey Karjakin: "Hey Vishy did you hear about Carlsen saying he could beat you in a world championship match?"

Viswanathan Anand: "Hehe, good one Sergey, that's like saying you could beat Magnus in a game."

I was expecting an actual stream of this for some reason. Is there any, anyway?
