Mar-22-16 World Championship Candidates (2016) 
|
arjunkakar: expereince is one advantage with Visy, also temperament. The likes of nakamura, aronian and caruana all wilt under pressure far more than anand does. Anand has nerves of steel something which is a hall marrk of a champion |

arjunkakar: i wonder what the odds would be on carlsen winning the tournament now? I feel such has been his dominance it would still be pretty good. I wouldnt be surprised if he still crawls back to top. |

Nov-20-14 Carlsen - Anand World Championship Match (2014) 
|
arjunkakar: <everett> couldn't agree with you more. perhaps an anand of 10 years ago with a degree of impetuousness and willingness to make quick moves would. But you are right a kasparov at his best would be the best bet against carlsen. You cannot outplay Carlsen in positional play ... |

arjunkakar: It was infact Anand who had offered solace to Kramnik after a bad loss by taking him out to dinner. Kramnik appreciated that and in cource of their conversation over dinner reciprocated by offering solace to anand and suggested he too play candidates. So it was a reciprocation to |

Nov-19-13 Anand - Carlsen World Championship Match (2013) 
|
arjunkakar: I also feel we need to stop comparing karpov with carlsen. true, karpov was a master at positional play - but so are many or most - even kramnik really excels at it. But what searates carlsen as much from karpov and all else is this amazing technique of ending. He is threatening ... |

Nov-10-13 Anand vs Carlsen, 2013 
|
arjunkakar: I just think with chess engines getting stronger than humans, this problem is bound to increase. Like Anand said today, he wasen' t willing to risk a line he feared the other was better prepared at. This actually just means, that players have lesser confidence on their own ... |

Apr-03-13 World Championship Candidates (2013) 
|
arjunkakar: what i propose is "one grand slam" event a year - with rules more or less like this candidates tournament. Top 8 players invited. Huge prize money and lots at stake. |

Dec-10-12 Anand vs Nakamura, 2012 
|
arjunkakar: Only Garry gets under Anand's skin. I say that because Anand reacts and snaps only at Garry and no one else. Its as if the phlegmatic Anand makes exception only to take a dig (back?) at Garry. Why that's so truly we don't know. It perhaps has to do something with very early on on |

Dec-07-12 G Jones vs Anand, 2012 
|
arjunkakar: really looks like a complete mismatch. Might not go down as a classic game but perhaps this could be just the thing vishy needed at the moment. |
