Anand starts

aggressively, then loses ground steadily and finally fights hard for a draw or concedes the match.

The portents are ominous for Anand.

poorly worded title

It should say, Anand escaped with a draw. Or may be Carlsen gave away a draw.


Now Anand, can make me eat my words, by winning this tournament. Either way he should retire immediately after this tournament, allowing younger generation to thrive.

indian media not doing his responsibility

when shows like satyamev jayate talks about sports, media houses write 100s of articles on it... cover the story for weeks.. but, when india's no. 1 sportsperson is playing in the world championship, media is not giving deserving coverage. you can see news channels are not covering this news even in the headlines.. it's media's responsibility to spread awareness abt sports in india.

"It was a good opening for Anand as white in the topical exchange variation", but the picture shows Anand playing with black.

Anand draws with Carlson

The first game was a tense one, both played aggressively. Let's see what Anand do with black pieses. Expect tough fight.
