it is not a isue of Anand can beat Kasparov but the isue is how good anand is? in my optic if Anand was born in Russia by far he would been the best player ever took place behind the chess board. thank you
The last time these two faced each other, Anand was different. I can certainly say that Anand has improved and gained some experience. NOW, it will be interesting to see how he matches up with Kasparov. Now i think we can say that they both have seen it all, almost. Now, it will really be a clash of galactic proportions, more so than those 90's. If there ever'll be such a match-up, we'll know for sure whether Anand has really become the best(if he wins after Kasp managing to play his natural game) or he still has a way to go(if he loses). None of us can judge at this point in time as to whether who'll beat whom for sure just because Anand has done a lot of things after his loss to Kasp at the WTC. Only a match-up, that too a 10-15 gamer will hold the right answer. Everything else will just be a desperate attempt and a waste of some fingerwork.
He is an excellent person and a genius,India is proud of him.I urge readers to refrain from something nasty about him just for the sake of it.It is disgusting.

He is not arrogant; he just wants to flush out the rats hiding in holes after nipping at toes...

anand has not challenged kasparov.. he has just express his desire to see kasparov on chess again.. and then he added that he will get chance to play more games with him.. people r taking this news as an open challenge... thats not correct

technically not a challenge; but for all practical purposes yes it is.
By inviting Kasparov, Anand has proved that he is the real world champion, and he is not afraid to meet anyone alive in this world.. Proud that it is a gesture shown by an Indian...

Anand's goal is 3000 elo points and for achieving that he will try such challenges.
Anand is being unwise in asking Kasparov for a comeback match. Infact he cannot defeat even Gata Kamsky if a match-up is arranged now. Now don't misunderstand me because I am a great admirer of Vishy. But I feel he should enjoy his World Champion title as long as it lasts and forget about others.
