I just think they should have given Svidler a more outspoken co-commentator, probably Trent. Sopiko seems a little to shy to keep up with him.

I'm not so excited myself.

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!

I watched quite a bit of this last year and started playing a little chess on my phone afterwards. Going to try and watch almost as much this year too, it is really interesting to me despite barely ever playing chess in the last 12 years or so.

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.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

geez, give her a couple days, she'll be fine; Svidler will be (more)in control anyway because he's the one with the mouse

Big blunder but the position was lost or close to lost anyway.

Based on these two I would be surprised if Anand wins a single game. 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
