Even though I think Carlsen is going to win, I think Vishy is going to put up a much better fight. It's thread worthy. Last year urboss made a very informative OP, here it is: World Championship 2013-thread Hopefully someone can make something similar this year. I would gladly do it (in a lower standard though) but I'm a bit busy this weekend. | ||

I feel like Magnus and Caruana are on a completely different level, and I can't really see Anand winning. 1.20 odds for Magnus vs 4.25 odds for Viswanathan. Not to mention, Anand is quite old for chess, and even if he wins, he will be out of the sport within 5 years (or a significant decline, just by looking at historical figures)... people want to see something new. | ||

What I think it will be like: Carlsen crushing Anand in key games and a lot of short draws Hopefully no quick draw today! | ||
