Anand versus Carlsen is about to take place on 64 squares.
India.
It is pro forma match being trumped up between those two because Chess Base ran article showing neither Anand nor Carlsen stand chance against the best players: Best.
Chess Base is not very well indexed for past articles or subject matter. They want their current pronouncements to be gospel without context of the past:
typical Stage-setter.
Despite their obfuscation, we shall be able to look back whilst the focus lies in their Ortho- world championship.
Now Chess Base and "World Chess Federation" are venues for entrenched Orthodoxy: one set of rules 500 years old, with century-old concretization for e.p. and castling. Together, FIDE and Chess Base as well as allied Chess Cafe comprise The Great CV Unwashed*. That umbrella nickname indicates, because able to retain only Ortho-Chess 64 of f.i.d.e. persuasion, they show scant knowledge of Chess history, origins, or historical and variant rules. Or they soon forget the History in their own past statements that we may as well recover during the India match.
(*Synonym is greek Hoi_polloi, in context that they obsessively overlook even middle ages Shatranj let alone modern CVs.)
