What?
Anand played 2 games with tournament time control and the score was 1,5 - 0,5
for him!
Just to remind you: the other games were blitz or rapid-chess.
Ok, Anand is the Blitz World Champion; but telling that Blitz time-limits is the
same as tournament-level time limits... come on, that's not true! I don't think
Anand is weaker than Rebel nowadays. That match did not prove nothing more than
the power of computing for Blitz and rapid-chess; but standard chess is
different. I think maybe a parallell computer like DB could beat Anand, but I'm
not so sure he would play as badly as Kasparov did in his match... Ok, let's go
further: why not challenging some other great players, Leko, Morozevich,
Kramnik,(and others, restricting the choices to the top 20)... and analyse the
results?
