I get the feeling you're already trying to throw me off. Not what I was expecting. Looks like maybe a reversed Dutch.

Vishy didn't win one game last year. I believe Magnus won three. 23 year old vs. 44 year old, should be just like last year. 50/50 Is generous.

Wouldn't be sure, Anand is at top of his form. He easily won everything he attended this year. Still I also would give the edge to Carlsen, maybe 55 to 45 or 60 to 40. Because he's a more natural player and can play faster when he needs. Anand on the other hand is a very hardworking methodical player who relies mostly on his strong analytical play. But I would not underestimate him in any condition, at the end of the day, the guy is probably one of the top 5 players ever played the game.

Hard to believe Carlsen is 23 years old. It feels like yesterday when I first heard of him, and he was just a little kid.

for some reason my board pic is mixed up, switching the file designations and rank to based on black lower left corner being a1. I mean to move my queen diagonal left and forward to the corner square. . . . from my black perspective. . . . my Qe7 defined by the designations in your previous post.
