Rapid chess has progressed a lot these days with young talents cropping up with more hunger and mechanically trained with softwares it becomes tough for senors to match them.
Kudos to Anand for still competing at this level. First Karpov showed the way that a World Champion or any other Super GM is just another player and should participate in major tournaments...It was picked up by Anand, Ivanchuk and Kramnik

this tournament is just fun... no serious chess as its not classical chess and does not affect his ELO rating...but I am just disappointed that he did not do well in rapid ...
