MarbleSkull: Hmm, well since this is opened super-early... Go Anand! As far as the venue controversy goes, I don't think it'd be good for Carlsen to avoid the title match, but I could see him wanting more time. Perhaps he thinks he can force some kind of delay?

MarbleSkull: I don't have a sub, but I agree w/ everyone that this puzzle was unusually weak. This was either my first or second Sunday solving, but it had the rush of victory similar to a Monday's.
