The second semifinal will be just as boring than the first one. And even after all these matches what u get. A Kasparov,Kramnik or a Leko as a chmpion even if Anand is the best player in the world right now. This is not fair to Anand.In 1995 I agree he lost but there is a lot of Difference in that Anand and this Anand. His defensive skills are improved a lot and even though he has bad record against Kasparov he will improve upon that. Regards Vikrant
