SO this is going to be a really interesting match. Who thinks Anand will win? Who thinks numero uno Carlsen will finally get his well deserved world title?

He was good chances.

This candidate tournament has been really interesting.

Here are the games and the results:

This first round was really simple and full of draws. Probably they were all preparing and warming up, or was it that they all prepared too much that draws are almost inevitable?

Today we saw a lot of interesting wins. Probably the game of the day( and some say of the year) was Anand game. Carlsen was 2 pawn down but managed to win because of his strong compensation. Nakamura had a nice advantage but made a mistake.
