Anand, being from an Indian middle class background, has had the advantage of an assured family setup, not just "passing friendships with girls". That is a tremendous advantage. Also, if Anand had shown the least bit of arrogance he would have to face prejudice from westerners!
Have been a fan of Anand for the last more than two decades. Have been following his progress right from the first Nationals he played in India. Unquestionably a legend and a great. But now , I am sure the baton would pass on to Carlsen. Great thing about Carlsen is his percentage of wins . He plays only to win and that to me is phenomenal

Both players are great but Anand is getting older and Carlsen is very young. After these two draws can we still believe he plays only to win?
