Sokrates: With Nd6 Carlsen is taking big risks against Wang right now. Kind of living on the edge.

Sokrates: Right about Anand's fighting mood. But he is the WC, he has white, and he plays against an opponent who suffered a defeat yesterday. When will we see Mr Anand's fighting mood again?

Sokrates: Thanks for the link, <micartouse:>. Interesting read. Kramnik talks a lot about his greatest opponents from the past and present, and even if it is very interesting to read his valuation of those players, it's the portrait of himself these valuations draw indirectly. It's so ...
