Carlsen - Anand, Chess Press Overview

Let's have one more post on the great match, this one a summary of the events in Chennai as seen by two stalwarts of the online chess press. I chose to use these two sites because of their frequent use of photos and videos.

Both sites published much more material on the match. See also the Chessbase Tag=World Championship 2013, although there is good material that is not mentioned under the tag.

The future of the Chessvibes site is unclear. It's been two months since the announcement of the deal with Chess.com -- I mentioned it on Chess.com(?) Interviews Kasparov -- but Chessvibes.com continues as before. It's entirely possible that the links will stop working at any moment.
