re: Chess World Championship (Anand vs Carlsen)

I watch ever few years. Wish I could still play like I could as a youngster.

I know I talk old days a lot ... but was anyone else around and playing back in the Fischer/Reshevsky days ... or even the Fischer/Spassky days?

The fricking golden years. Nothing like it has ever been seen before or since.

And I used to listen to that crazy fricker on HAMM not ten years ago or so. Perhaps the most brilliant man of my lifetime, but what a total dick. It always made me wonder if being that intelligent is worth it.
