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 Has To Play As The World Champion That He Is!

With only 4 games remaining in the World Chess Championship Match going on in Chennai (Madras), India, the reigning World Champion Viswanathan Anand, who is trailing Challenger Magnus Carlsen of Norway 3-5, has to come up with SOMETHING EXTRA ORDINARY to be back in the match!


THE World Champion that he IS, is no more 'seen' as he looks like the shadow of what HE REALLY IS & he is seen doing ONLY A QUARTER OF WHAT HE IS REALLY CAPABLE OF DOING against anyone, in the game of chess! Chess GM Project 'FEELS' that the environment in which Anand 'IS KEPT' is NOT AT ALL CONDUCIVE to make him play his usual self!


We, @ Chess GM Project, think that the Indian Media also do their LOT in creating this dull & monotonous environment! If some one from a foreign country is ditching Anand that is understandable; BUT, here we see the media, both print & visual, going all out in favour of Magnus, without any reason! This has been the case from the day one of the Match!


With a lot of Non Chess People & Reporters in the World Championship media room & with the AICF media officer guarding it like a gene, one can hardly wish for a genuine reportage that will do justice to Anand! What is happening INSIDE the media room is that the Non Chess Reporters Inside – And, they are many! - rush to those who know the game, after each & every game, & vomit the same things the ‘Knowledgeable People Inside’ have stated, in their language on the medium they have – Oh! What a quality reporting of the World Chess Championship!!
Excluding some from the Chess realm like GM Pravin Thipsay, Hari Hara Nandanan, Hareesh from Malayala Manorama, Kozhikode, most of the reporters – Excluding the foreign reporters, ofcourse! – are NON CHESS REPORTERS who don’t know ‘the art of reporting Chess’, as most of them don’t know chess of any standard; and, it is the World Chess Championship going on! When the Non Chess People & Reporters go after the interests of Magnus in basket ball & other things which are far away from the realm of chess, as they are very fond of whatever that is 'WHITE' - May be due to the Colonial Past Indians have!!! - the likes & dislikes of 'WHITES' and the general silly things & matters, it is Anand, the Indian World Champion, who suffers from the lack of support from the Indian media - which means the support of the Indian Chess Players & Lovers, by default! And, it IS THE SITUATION where, from the HUGE SUPPORT the Indians SHOULD give Anand, Anand get the INSPIRATION to win the World Crown, ONE MORE TIME!
It is a pity that NO INDIAN CHESS BLOGGER has been given access to the media room, in this World Chess Championship, that REAL THINGS emerge from it! And, it is UTTERLY DISGUSTING that every Jack, Dick & Harry is entertained inside the media room, provided EITHER he is white or carry a press card! The police men employed @ the World Championship venue are ALWAYS EAGER to push & shove any dark skinned individual – Read ‘Indian’! - with all their INSENSITIVE MIGHT, in any area that is related to the World Chess Championship; and, loyalty of the highest degree ooze or drool out of these same policemen when some white skinned persons are near them! It seems the Raj is still going on! And, it’s REALLY sickening!?!


And, in the ‘Live Commentary’ box for India’s National TV, Doordarshan (Doordarshan ‘Sports’), Susan Polgar ALWAYS & ONLY talks great things about Magnus, from the day one, with Indian GM RB Ramesh sitting by her as the co commentator. In the last game - (Game 8) - Magnus’ ordinary17. Re1 was trumpeted as something Out Of The World by Susan, during the running commentary. Going by the Susan commentary on ‘Their Own Sports’ channel, it seems to the average chess player & chess lover in India that ‘All Magnus’ Goose Are Swans!’ & ‘All Anand Swans Are Geese!’?!


Anand REALLY has to be WHAT HE REALLY IS – THE WORLD CHAMPION OF LEGENDARY PROPORTIONS – and play like the World Champion, without ever getting sucked into the World of Maya, created by his distracters & an unfavourable Indian Media! He HAS TO use whatever skills & preparation he has in the coming 4 games to push the match into the tie breaker territory! As we, Chess GM Project, pointed out to Anand’s logistics manager “Anand should come 2 know about 'HIMSELF' - Very Important Concept Of Indians!-  & PLAY LIKE THE WORLD CHAMPION THAT HE IS!”! We suggested our 2 articles to him as well : (http://chessgmproject.blogspot.in/2013/11/viswanathan-anand-untold.html




We, Chess GM Project, expect & know that Anand will come back into the match BIG TIME tomorrow, firing all the cylinders, and from tomorrow onwards, He will be what he IS, the One With No Parallels In The History Of Chess!!!

Akshat Khamparia Wins Sydney Open!

Indian FM Akshat Khamparia won the Sydney International Open 2011 which was held from 27th April to 1st May at the Parramatta Town Hall in Sydney, Australia. With an amaizing five straight wins and four draws in a strong field, he claimed the clear first place with a total of 7 points. He also fulfilled requirements for an IM norm, his second within only a week in Australia. Previously he shared the 4th place at the 2011 Doeberl Cup.

A group of seven players, including 3 GMs, shared the second place with 6.5 points a piece. Among them are FM Christopher Wallis of Australia, who also won an IM norm, GM David Arutinian of Georgia and Doeberl Cup winner GM Andrei Deviatkin of Russia.

The Sydney International Open was held from 27th April to 1st May at the Parramatta Town Hall in Sydney, Australia. The New South Wales Chess Association managed two 9-round tournaments, the Open which allowed all players to enter and the Sydney International Challengers which was designed for players rated under 2000.

The excellent performance from FM Akshat Khamparia clearly shows the strength of Indian Chess Players, who with the inspiration drawn from the World Champion from India GM Vishy Anand, go any length to upgrade their game & perform well at the national & international level.It is a proof of the present day system in place in India which propells even lesser known players like FM Akshat Khamparia to perform excellently in an international tournament & win it!
