Anand and Carlsen have played each other 29 times at Classical time controls: Anand has won six times, Carlsen has won three, and the other 20 games were drawn. All of Carlsen’s wins occurred after the beginning of 2009 (by which time he’d consolidated his status as a top-10 player), with Anand winning just twice during that period.
Anand stopped playing competitions long before the world championship that will take place in November, so that he could prepare fulltime for the match. I definitely think that the odds are way too high for Anand, I'll take everything above 4 to 1!

Thought Vishi had a small advantage here but probably happy to draw quickly. Dont think the media idiots outside the glass cage with all the excessive movement is a good idea
