Anand vs. Jaideep!
Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 10:06PM
Longtime readers of this blog will be quite familiar with freelance writer Jaideep Unudurti, who often contributes not only opinions but also news and interview information in his comments. This time around, I had the privilege of assisting him in an auxiliary role as he prepared for an informal two-game blitz match with world chess champion Viswanathan Anand. Jaideep may not have succeeded against the champion, but his five-page article about the encounter is a success, interesting to chess players and non-chess players alike. Have a look.

Wonderful article. It's always fascinating to see how the very top players think. I wonder if Anand would like his chances better against his phone in Chess 960?
Very interesting and entertaining article from Jaideep Unudurti. Are the games anywhere?
What amateur doesn't think, "What if I played X with odds..." and this gives a good account of the prep, games, and aftermath. Really fun article!
