India alone has 1.2 billion people XD
But I am sure that number is just an estimation

Two Bishop advantage might be something in an endgame like this one. | ||

This, at best, will be another difficult draw for Anand; at worst, Carlsen will squeeze him in some simplified endgame. | ||

I think that strategically speaking it is easy to move the pieces around for black to defend, even if he doesn't have any chance at counterplay. Anand is probably just aiming for a draw. | ||

There is no way he can get out of the position without b6... | ||

I think it's more chess players don't care as much for flashing lights or fancy transitions. We're people used to staring at a still chessboard for 3-4 hours at a time who just want to follow the games. I quite like the minimalist way it's being done. They have good commentators (even if I don't really like the polgar/ramesh combo) and they're showing the games in a way as unintrusive to the players as possible. | ||
