Carlson's win was not so convincing and he had to fight hard. Anand took it a bit casually and paid for it.Anand is playing fearlessly like Alexander Morozewich. I guess the next world champ would be Topalov. he is a killer.

Hi,
Its not that anand lost his concentration. Carlsen had a positional advantage within the first 20 moves itself and ground him down in Kramnik's style in the next 50 moves.

Yes, That is true . But Anand has been losing his matches quite consistently over the last two years . Though he is NO. 1 . I must say that he is Indian but not in the same class as the Great Gary Kasporov. He was very consistant and his rivalry with Karpov is legendary. Anand also never has had the same ELO rating in full fledged matches. Though he is fine in time limit matches.

its true that kasparov was better player than anand but dont say that anand was way behind, he was just one step behind kasparov & he alwasy put up a tough fight against kasparov.
