Secondly, no computers sometimes results in commentators analysing lines that are not relevant. | ||

This is probably because I don't actually know chess that well. Armageddon looks trollzy as fuck. | ||

Not a great format (or match for that matter) but not many people were going to sponsor it otherwise (difficult since its chess and also Gelfand is a hard player to sell). If it goes to the wire, chess is going to be criticized again as its organizing body shoots itself in the foot with its arbitrary rules for candidacy, as well as the format. I'm hoping FIDE either way if either Anand or Gelfand wins, will reconsider the value of the World Championships when two relatively strong players but neither as the absolute best player / challenger in the world are competing as a product of politicking and arbitrary rule setting every time there is a contest for the "World Crown". As a chess fan since 2000, I am for the first time not especially interested in the winner of this contest. | ||

but today was spectacular. I think they should play 1-2 hour total games in all tournaments instead of the ass long things they do now. | ||
