Anand will beat Gelfand 6.5 – 1.5.
Unfortunately a non-event in the eyes of most.
Is there ANY doubt? “Alekhie verse Bolgojubov IV” is what they should call it.
Now is the time to get Kasparov on the horn and make plans to play the long awaited World Championship Reunification Match. Pronto!!!
Hey you guys who used to deride Anand as an old chess player who had no chance against the up and coming youngsters like Aronian & Co.! And what do you say now to the two oldest champions on the circuit fighting against each other for the crown in the year 2012 ? What happened to your favorite young blood, eh?
