Luck & Blunder…The World Championship 2014

Despite the media saying AWESOME, what got finished on 23rd of November 2014 @ Sochi, in Russia, was just nothing more than PURE mediocre stuff! No other world championship has this much depended on ‘PURE BLUNDER’ & ‘PURE LUCK’!

When one sees the Anand everyone saw in the Candidates 2014 after the so called Carlsen Demolition in 2013 and @ Bilbao, just before the world championship 2014, vanishing listlessly into thin air, just when he started playing in Sochi IS JUST BEYOND ANY LOGICAL SENSE! Illogic is added more & more when he falters against a SO CALLED OFF FORM Magnus, committing stupidities when & where a 5 Time World Champion is NEVER expected to do such things!

When Anand justifies his blunders saying that Magnus has STRONGER NERVES, one comes to doubt whether he has COMPLETELY forgotten he was playing a world championship match & he has 5 world chess championship crowns under his belt! One also doubts whether he went to Sochi, FULLY PREPARED TO LOSE TO MAGNUS, ‘ONLY’ DUE TO THE PRESSURE FACTOR & NOTHING ELSE!

And, the PRESSURE, he has ‘severely’ been (SUPPOSEDLY!) under, ever since the media started to copy some of the Anand baiters, from the West side of the chess board, SEEMS to have no effect on Magnus’ result! One SURELY comes into the conclusion that Anand is playing a ‘MUCH PRESSURED’ (Pressurised!) World Chess Championship @ Sochi while Magnus plays some sort of ‘Night Odds’ or ‘Bishop Odds’ with his pal who NEVER played chess in his entire life; or whoever arranged it from ‘behind the curtains’ made it look EXACTLY like that!

It is a WESTERN ‘FACT’ that the word ‘PRESSURE’ itself is INVENTED by the western chess fraternity for Anand; ‘ONLY’ for Anand! It is ALSO amazing to know that when Anand plays the World Chess Championship (Whether he is the reigning champion as was the case in 2013 or as the challenger, as is the case in 2014!), IT IS ONLY Anand who SHOULD come under pressure! The international chess environment is in such a wonderful condition that ONLY Anand is ‘PRESSURE AFFECTED’; that too ALWAYS in the World Championships! The story becomes ‘THICKER’ when he loses BOTH the matches against Magnus as a defending champion & as a challenger, UNDER PRESSURE……Oh…what a wonderful story line!

Media celebrated the ‘Anand Break Down’ (Poor, Malnourished, ‘Western Made Crocin Eating ‘3rd World’ Former Champ, from the snake charmers’ land, India, who lost to the Young & Dashing ‘UNPRESSURED’ & ‘NEVER PRESSURED’ Norwegian!) & the Mentally ‘Tough’ Magnus (The New Macho Man Of The West!) pulling a faster one (A La Odysseus!) over a ‘PRESSURE BROKEN’ Indian who is ‘SUPPOSEDLY’ aged MUCH MORE THAN THE GREAT HIMALAYAS! The fact that Lasker & Botwinnik (The Aravallies of the Chess World!) were ‘MORE AGED’ world champions is wholesomely forgotten as they were considered ‘the Greeks’ of the Western Chess World!

Indian Media lapped up the western nausea & celebrated the Dashing Norwegian victory! They nauseated ‘PRESSURE’, ‘AGE FACTOR’, ‘CRUMBLING UNDER PRESSURE’, ‘RATING DIFFERENCE’, ‘LACK OF MOTIVATION’, ‘CARLSEN DOMINANCE’, ‘THE TIRING FORCE OF MAGNUS’, ‘THE MAGNUS EFFICIENCY IN EVERY POSITION & EVERY DEPARTMENT OF THE GAME’ etc on their media territory; those who 'EVEN' could not tell a bishop from a pawn talked elaborately on their media platforms, nauseating what they already had from the western nausea!

What many don’t understand is the stand Anand took; his ‘UNDERDOG TALK’; it looked as if he wished to present himself as a tooth less old lion, weakly moving towards the sun set…with all his glories collected in a bag which loosely hung on his back, with sad melody getting lightly played in the background!

It is basic logic that IF he wished TRUELY to compete in the World Championship rematch against all the ‘CREATED ODDS’, what HE REQUIRED BADLY WAS ‘MOTIVATION’, ‘INSPIRATION’, ‘MENTAL BOOST’, ‘WHOLESOMELY CHANGED/ALTERED OUTLOOK’ etc; and, it  definitely is anyone’s guess! Some sensible fellow had, some long years ago, told bluntly on the face of his distracters that To Train A Horse It Is ‘NOT’ Necessary To Be A Horse!”; maybe, Anand would have missed that blunt man’s statement!

Why didn’t he go searching for this PANACEA & included someone outside the HEAVILY BIASED chess fraternity who could have changed his fortunes is STILL A PUZZLE! Was it all ARRANGED in such a manner that Anand be given a SORT of farewell which the BEHIND THE SCENE ACTORS designed?! His win in the Candidates, his success in Bilbao etc don’t show Anand as the nervous ‘BLUNDERING RAM’ of the world championship match….Some VERY IMPORTANT pieces of the jigsaw ARE missing here, for sure!  

Every Indian &, of course, Chess GM Project really wish to know, maybe NOT too far away from now, what all things went in to make the World Championship 2014 this kind of a match where ‘ONLY’ Luck & Blunder’ (L&B!) decided the outcome!


If it is Luck & Blunder’ (L&B!) which are the main criteria winning a world championship match, it’s better NEXT TIME, FIDE arrange the world championship match between 2 seasoned gamblers from Las Vegas or 2 Lottery Maniacs who have spoiled everything on the lottery, as the 2 persons fighting for the FIDE World Chess Championship, where a little bit of ‘Gasparov Predictions & Blabbering’ 

(It is debated all over the Indian chess circles what this ‘G’ in G.Kasparov stands for; they strongly doubt that ‘G’ stands for ‘Gas’, EXPANDED Gas Kasparov; some EVEN have gone to the extent of calling G.Kasparov simply ‘Gas’parov!) should be sprinkled to get the obnoxious, gossipy feel! Let’s hope someday…..in the near future something shocking will come out into the open….Let’s wait till that moment, thinking about things unseen… unknown……unchesslike!

Anand Sans Traitors @ Sochi World Championship!

It is almost equal or equal @ this point of time when the game 1 is going to be stared in the FIDE World Chess Championship match @ Sochi, Russia!

The ‘CREATED GHOST’ of the last year World Championship which was specially created for Anand has been exorcised effectively & there are no chances for a ‘Carlsen Surge’ as every one saw in the last World Championship, in 2013!

All the ‘Traitors’ who double crossed Anand & their vicious spells & effects on Anand & his preparation have all become Irrelevant Things of Past (ITPs!)! Anand seems to be in control of the things since the Candidates; and, Bilbao proved it again! At the same time, Carlsen seems to be riding on a diminishing ‘Luck Wave’ (LW!), where on all his fortunes are staked!

Clearly, Carlsen is losing steam; the force which he was or rather had been created by the ‘who is who’ of the Chess Behind The Scene Technicians’ (CBSTs!) , in the run up to the 2013 World Championship IS on the wane; and, explicitly so!

It is well clear that IF Anand plays his game as naturally as he has been playing all these decades, India & Indians WILL see Anand getting crowned the sixth time as the World Champion, in Sochi! 


FOOT NOTE!
To know about the ‘behind the scene activities’ & whatever things happened in the last World Championship of 2013 & before that, We, ‘Chess GM Project’, provide you readers with ‘3’ wonderful articles which had been published before & during the last World Chess Championship by ‘Chess GM Project’ below:

Indian Chess History @ Tromso!

Indian Chess Team @ the Tromso Chess Olympiad - In the Reigning World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen’s Country, Norway! -  created history by clinching the ‘BRONZ’, a FIRST for any Indian Chess Team @ the Chess Olympiad, on the eve of Indian Independence Day!

Indian Team consisting of Parimarjin Negi (6.5/10), Sethuraman (7.5/10), K.Sasikiran (7.5/10), B.Adhiban (7.5/11) & Lalith Babu (2/3) did a wonderful job for the country on the eve of 68th Indian Independence Day by winning the ‘BRONZ’! It also becomes wonderful as the Indian Team found itself on the podium for the first time, as the presence of the Top 2 players from India - former World Champion Viswanathan Anand & World 26 P. Harikrishna - was conspicuous by their absence!

On a day when China annexed the Olympiad chess gold medal, for the first time ever, India continued grandly from where they paused on Round 10, where they handed Germany their first team defeat of the event, winning 2.5-1.5 on the strength of GM Krishnan Sasikiran’s victory with the black pieces over Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu.

India captured the bronze crushing Uzbekistan 3.5-0.5. Without losing a match in the last 7 rounds, the 19th-seeded Indian open team tied for the second-third place with Hungary, Russia and Azerbaijan for silver/bronze medal. On a better tie-breaker score, Hungary clinched the silver and India the bronze ahead of Russia, Armenia and several other higher-rated teams.

It is also to be noted that three Indians, Sethuraman, Sasikiran and Adhiban remained undefeated. India won seven matches, lost one and drew three for this excellent showing. Krishnan Sasikiran won 2 medals for India; he won the silver medal for his 7.5/10 performance, on the third board, as well as the team bronze.

Final Standing:-

Open: 1 China (gold) 19; 2-5 Hungary (silver), India (bronze), Russia, Azerbaijan 17 each; 6-11. Ukraine, Cuba, Armenia, Israel, Spain, Belarus 16 each.
                     
Girls: 1 Russia (gold) 20; 2-3. China (silver), Ukraine (bronze) 18 each; 4-6 Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan 17 each; 7-9 Poland, USA, Germany 16 each; 10-18. India, Romania, France, Spain, Bulgaria, Netherlands, Mongolia, Slovakia, Lithuania 15 each.

Anand Wins Candidates 2014!

5 Time World Champion Viswanathan Anand of India shut his distracters’ & critics’ (Including those of the NOISY’ Kasparov & company!) ever gaping mouths ‘once again’ with a sterling performance @ the Candidates 2014, in Siberia, Russia winning it with a round to spare!


Winning the Candidates in Russia, the Indian Chess Legend will take on the Reigning World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway to whom he gave away his crown in a platter, last year (2013), due to the World Of ‘Ugly’ Chess Politics & Tactics!


Anand won the Candidates with a round to spare & without even a single defeat SHOWS What Was His Condition (MADE/CREATED by the Conmen Of Chess!) as he defended his crown back in 2013 against a Much ‘Noisily’ Propped Up Magnus Carlsen & lost it without a win, that too a couple of rounds to spare! And, who doesn’t know that ‘The Noise’ in the Chess World ‘ALWAYS’ comes from none other than the ‘NOISE MACHINE’ Kasparov!


As Chess GM Project pointed out in ‘a couple of articles’ written in that ‘Grey Occasion Of Chess History’, it was some sort of a Totally Different & Much Subdued Anand the Chess World saw in his crown defence, in Chennai! And, everybody (Including the NOISY’ Kasparov & company, ofcourse!) ‘DECLARED SCIENTIFICALLY’ the decline of the Indian Legend! Noisy Chess Patriarchs rushed to write requiems taking SMART advises from NOISY’ Kasparov & company who always presented Anand in very poor light all across his chess life!


Now, once again, Anand has come out of the ‘Noisy Death Vale’ (Where the Mighty Noise Machine Kasparov is the king!!!) as the phoenix and proved the Noisy Doubters, ONCE AGAIN, WHOLESOMELY WRONG! Chess GM Project Congratulates Viswanathan Anand on this great occasion & wishes him all the best in his forth coming World Championship Title Challenge!

  
“Congratulations……Anand!”
