anand has a slight lead, but i'm hoping he doesn't win after his embarrassing display last year.

i've been watching commentary from chessexplained

and it's official. anand will face carlsen again. so far he's the only player not to lose a game in the candidates which was impressive. i hope he won't be such an embarassment again.

nakamura's now down to +0-10 vs carlsen. i was surprised carlsen lost two games in a row, but he ended up winning the Gashimov Memorial with +5 - 2 after the dust settled

This is an interesting conversation with yourself.
