That doesn't mean that it has to be bad, but it's a little odd. The candidates tournament for instance had Nigel Short on the official live stream, a very strong and famous GM. Both Lawrence Trent (IM) and Susan Polgar (GM) have confirmed on their official pages/twitters that they will be commentating :-) | ||

Each player usually only has 5-10 people helping him, and rarely will those people be top GMs, because the top GMs have their own tournaments to worry about. | ||

The highlight of Anand so far was against Kramnik in 2008 where Anand was in the form of his life. The IM in the video mentions that Carlsen wouldn't have had a chance against the Anand of those days. The critical position in this game is at 24min into the video. | ||

Many people probably won't have the time to watch every game in real time. There will be a lot of post-game analyses that wrap up the games into 30-60 min videos. These videos will usually appear on the same day as the game on various channels. | ||

Don't understand why the commentator would make such a silly statement. I wouldn't be surprised if Anand can win against Carlsen though. I haven't seen Anand play for a while, but he has prepared extensively and if Carlsen has to play from a disadvantage after the opening he will have a hard time against Anand. I expect close and vicious games though. Edit: In the video, I didn't get Kramnik's move 22. a3. It looks like a weak option to either move the king to keep cover and get out of the b2 rook's sight or play bxd7. Especially when coupled with 23. xc8 | ||

He would then have 6 World Championship titles and would have to be considered among the greatest in the history of chess. | ||
