Naka finally plays 1. e4, and wins even though he had a losing position. I told you to play 1. e4, Naka. Naka, perhaps now you will listen to … The Sage.
I am The Sage, I know all.
Anand 50% … how come we’re not surprized?!
Anand sure is a disapointing WC, it`s a wonder, he lost and won one and not all games drawn, he`s only No. 4 now and under 2800 and shouldn`t be invited to tournaments prior to the WC match anymore!
One of the things that is wrong with chess is that the $$ prize amounts are not mentioned in all the articles as they are in other sports. How much did each person win in this event? Anyone know?
