Bluff Notes:
Vishy Anand is a popular World Champion.
He is known to play fast but accurate chess.

World Number one, by fide ratings, is Norway's Magnus Carlsen (22) he didn't compete in the Candidate qualifier Tournament last year to find the Challenger to face Vishy Anand. He didn't like the format.
He is likely to be a future World Champion.

I miss the days of Kasparov- now THAT made chess interesting. The strategic/ positional play of Anand and gelfand doesn't really have the same impact on me compared to the blood-letting, brain twisting, hyper-tensioned style that Kazza used to bring to his games.

ah wait until we have Anand vs Carlsen, there will be dynamic mind blowing chess there! Carlsen will wipe the board with Anand and I can't wait!
