Norway originally bid to host this but pulled out due to Carlsen not wanting to play in his home country. I believe if the champion plays in his home country he gets less of the purse.

Last world championship, I think every regulation game was a draw. This will suit Carlsen as he is a great blitz player.

Viswanathan Anand (India) v Boris Gelfand (Israel)

12 games initially - first to 6.5 points wins. In the event of a 6-6 tie, rapidplay tiebreaks will be played.

Might interest someone perhaps. Coverage will be all over the Net. If anyone wants to watch, I can direct.

A 3rd draw
Carlsen would be happy with 12 draws again no doubt
