From the game chart, it is evident that by 28th move, the champion has wavered. However, this setback should be considered as a small setback and should not dishearten him.
As this is not a team work lie cricket or football, rest and concentration is absolutely necessary. In the 29th move our champion has definitely made a mistake.

Abdul should be hanged to death for his comment on one and only world champ mother India ever produced.

He is the only World Champion who does not get any credits for his achievements. And he rarely comes in limelight
Still there people like you to calling him as "head - weight fellow". This proves how much Head-Weight you have

Saleembhai.. he is so humble, without any head weight. You can see him in the crowd when he comes down to Madras to meet his parents. Such a earthy gentleman, you cannot locate. Having won so many accolades, he is still down to earth gentleman

Anand's wife has grown aged from mothering him LOL. This fellow hardly has a life outside of chess and his crazy moodswings

Uma, just what do you mean by 'life outside of chess' ? Anand is an educated and well informed person and is a professional chess player who plays in tournaments in various countries abroad. What more do you want ? Agreed all chess champions are eccentric but Anand is 'more normal' compared to others. You seem to be jealous of his wife Aruna to be making such comments about her

Nobody is spared. This mudslinging is a disease we can do without. We just cannot live with one of our own kind's success. How do you know he has head weight? Just because he became no.1 on his own efforts. Pathetic ideed!

Saleem bhai.. you probably mistook Anand for one of your pakistani cricketers (who dont know to bat, but yet are so arrogant).
In case you know your stuff, Anand is the nicest world champ the world has ever seen. He is neither head-weight, nor cranky, nor...
If you dont know anything abt him, then better shut up and get lost to pakistan (the land of barbarians).

This is realy shocking comment, all sports lovers knows that Master Viswanathan Anand is a nobel person & one of the most important sports person of our country. Anand is role model to our younger generation. Please respect him.

Even mullahs have started talking about chess. Have you seen a chess board in your life, paki ?

Saleem, i agree with you that Anand should be overthrown soon. That is why these competitions are conducted endlessly. So that people can take on him and overthrow him. But what to do, no one has shown such guts to overthrow him. All they have been able to do so far is only to 'shock' him, now and then.
I guess u understand why it is said a 'shock' defeat. If you lose to Anand, they will not call it shock defeat of Saleem!!
