Mr.Alegavi!!! Please stop this nonsense. This is not cricket, where the older ones retire and youngsters take over. DO you know there is a man called as Viktor Korchnoi?? Learn who he is from Wikipedia. Anand and Gelfand were the oldest in the recently concluded world championship and Anand finished first and Gelfand second. So please stop talking crap and first try to understand what all can be played after 1.e4. Thanks

Please don't show disrespect to such a great player. When you talk about young brigade then let me tell you nobody is anywhere near him.

Buddy he is the world champion. He is not a liablity to any one.Actually the old guys are playing better than the younger ones. Ivanchuck is older than Anand and he won Mtel masters recently.

This is not cricket where he is occupying the seat of some youngster mr. Ram, He is world no. 1 chess player as of date. One or two losses doesn't make him a bad player. He is the greatest ambassdor of India in any sports.
I hope that many readers will agree with me.
Thanks & regards
Sohan
