Hope Sachin bhakts don't derail this thread also. :nervous:

Gollum Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 can't read anything lol. what is this award? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Friendship Similar to the one Sachin got from Australia in 2012 (Order of Australia).
India-KXIP fan Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 What do people who follow regularly think of rematch? Can Vishy do it? :hmmm:
FischerTal Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 What do experts think of rematch? Can Vishy do it? :hmmm: he's trying harder. he has to get out of drawish mindset.play bold and aggressive. he could have easily won game 3 of previous WC but let it go into a draw. if he had won that one, it would have completely changed his confidence. if you watched candidates tournament this year, he seemed more relaxed and bold. also, important to note that he won game 1 against aronian, which gave him good confidence. so for this WC, he has to start out on a really good note otherwise there is no chance
NareshK Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Vishy Anand is definitely one of the greatest sportspersons to have come from India. What a legend :hatsoff:

He has got nothing to lose I agree. Hopefully he shocks Carlsen in first few games to give his confidence a hit and make it a contest. Carlsen was criticising the candidates defense though, said they were going for win too much or something and left themselves vulnerable, maybe just mind games. :hmmm:
Mariyam Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Vishy Anand is definitely one of the greatest sportspersons to have come from India. What a legend :hatsoff: Not doubting Vishy's greatness, but is chess a sport?
