Anand vs. Gelfand WCC 2012 started

[Houdini]

Black has a slight advantage - well done by Gelfand, using the Grünfeld was a good choice.

Now, I would go for f5.

[kinderchocolate]

Haha, Gelfand is listening to me.

Anand: "Come get some!"



EDIT: DRAW!!!! That's disappointing.

I swear Karayin sounds just like Kramnik! If I were blindfolded I would have bet that was Kramnik speaking.

They might have a remarkably similar accent when expressing some words. However, It seems to me that Karjakin has major problems expressing himself quickly in English whereas Kramnik can mouth paragraphs with no trouble.

I think it's a 12 minute short history of chess?
