That's what I call guts, Vishy knows how good Kasparov is, but still is humble to ask him for a match. as he doesnot prefer sitting on the throne and warming it. He enjoys his games. I Wish him all the Best

Gary is busy with politics and probably does Not think about chess anymore... he was in prison in for few days recently... he is not in an ideal situation anymore to play chess as his interest has changed.... So, though I appreciate Anand's guts, even if anand wins, it might not make him the best ever...

It seems you are out to degrade Anand. No doubt that Kasparov is a super class player but Anand has won more titles than him. It could be argued that he has won them in Kasparov's absence but he has won many in his presence too. And Anand is playing for a long time now and he is a gem of India and all indians should support him in stead you showing your tipical mentality.

Get your facts correct Mr. Gaitonde. Kasparov has won many more titles than Anand and was the undisputed world champion for more than Ten years winning a number of successive crowns.

Gaitonde, problem is not about supporting Anand. One shouldn't live in a Fool's Paradise!

You are right Khali. Obviously Anand feels that since Kasparov is distracted by his other pastimes he is a easy opponent to get past. Kasparov in his prime was the best and will always be the best. Anand should concentrate in beating the current crop of players.

he did lose eventually to kramnik a good seven years ago. so what's the guarantee he is the champion now?
"being distracted by past times" is a joke for grown up adults. a 40 yr old man is expected to handle problems more severe than distractions!
