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. Maybe Anand will be the next Korchnoi! | ||

They're trying really hard today to be more balanced. And in any case, if she doesn't say anything, that means we get to listen to Svidler more. That can only be a good thing. | ||

It seems the default game setting is him trying to hold a draw in a slightly worse position. I agree that this doesn't look very good to Anand. He has now twice created bad positions for himself after solid openings | ||
