Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Hi Susan Polgar,
Anand is capable of three straight wins from now,but legend Anand has his responsibility and preferred approach,that decides his game strategy.
No doubt,chess fans across globe may expect wining score from Anand – To all those,it may be disappointing.
But one thing should not be forgotten,that his draws are earned one,which means at this tournament,his all opponents[ Fellow Legends ] where at their best to win against him,which he successfully denied it.
So when “DRAW” happens at this highest level of the game – It means that both sides stood to their possible grounds at the given point of time.
If Anand decides to go for decisive games [ The next three games ],he has the capacity to win without much risk.
Anand’s priority may rule the result of his next three games.
Legend Anand knows what to be done next,be what his decisions,his fans ( Overall chess lovers across globe ) will appreciate it.
Who knows Anand’s priority better than himself.
So enjoy the overall game – played by these six legends of this time.
Be what the endeavor,detach emotions being attached to it,to bring in positive influence to it. This applies to,one and all across globe
