2.5/4 with three Blacks against the top four players in the world! Not too shabby a start for the H-Bomb.

Anand to be on the downslope on grounds of age, raised the dead, nakamura was all smiles at the press conference, when he loses, do not put anything in your tweet, lost 5 matches in a row for Carlsen, Carlsen of the customer, and break Kasparov also become your customer, when they want to laugh, read the nonsense on twitter nakamura

I meant, "Also... lots of players have LOST several games to Carlsen."

One of these days Naka will tweet "Today I was outplayed by a better player" and the skies will open and the world will end...

Who is N. Nakamura? This seems to be a strong new player on the scene boasting a 2900+ TPR.

Anand will WIN, When he plays 1.e4, Anand will LOSE,When he plays 1.d4

Anand, shame on you! What an embarrassing performance for a WC.

wer iz S3 ???

I'm loving the work by the commentary team. Particularly the daily guest Super GM work. Aronian and Kramnik in particular have been a delight. Aronian is quite a funny guy (Endangered Weapons - referring to the French h6) while Kramnik's thoughts on computers was interesting.

Is there any way to download those videos of the daily streaming? It would be neat to watch them on the way to work on ye olde ipod.

As age now is starting to be an issue in Anand's play, odds are that he will retire after the Gelfand-match.

The depth of calculation showed by Howell at the post-game press conference was impressive. It's scary to think how good both he and McShane could be if they were devoted to chess fulltime

Just 3 games, but it looks like Kramnik has gone back to his old style grinding with white and taking it easy with black.

I am more impressed with a lot of nonsense that nakamura usually post on his twitter, now has a new nonsense only official website of the tournament actually is not quite a silly nonsense is bordering on insanity, he says nakamura: that as Anand seems to have little experience in india king was the reason for your choice ..... now think, have you ever seen someone carry the title of world champion without having full knowledge of one of the most popular existing openings? the thing borders on insanity to put it mildly, that this be a lesson to Anand for the next matches with nakamura he has a greater attention, not that he is playing with a top grandmaster, different, as Anand, Carlsen , Ivanchuk, Topalov, Aronian, Kramnik, but do not underestimate, and thus will win the nakamura naturally.

5 players still in the winning-field: Carlsen, Kramnik, Aronian, McShane, Nakamura, - sorted by assessed winner-odds (?).
Most impressive so far: McShane; - a pity that he is not playing full-time.
The english have the material, but not the ambition?

Luke McShane is and has always been brilliant.
I have followed him since his brilliant loss against Anand with black pieces in 2004 when Anand won with the defensive move of the year - Luke had dared to play actively on the black side of the Sicilian Sveshnikov.I followed all his games in his latest Canadian open that he won convincingly and all the wonderful games that he has played against the greats like Magnus and Anand. In my opinion he is the greatest British player currently and definitely one of the young players to watch in the world if he focuses on chess.
