As a player, he has reached his top. Aging is a factor for players, but not for coaches. Actually, Anand is over the top also. The international ranking is correct in telling who is/are the best player(s). Magnus Carlsen from Norway is only 20 years old and the best chess player in the world today.

Gelfand had a draw in game two, the best possible computer analyses show. Also, Gelfand had fighting possibilities to achieve more than a draw in game three.

Boris did an amazing job. He achieved a serios victory in game 7. If it had not been for his mistake in game 8 anand would't have won a single game in the regular phase of the tournament. Israel can be proud of Boris. I sure am! Thanks for the amazing games!

And soon you will be no. 8 on the list of chess champions with jewish descent. ref link; http://www.jinfo.org/Chess_Champions.html .

Well played Gelfand! He played well and lost narrowly. Better luck next time.

Because of lack of time, Gelfand missed a forced exchange, after which it was a lost game.

but the four rapid games were very exciting. Gelfand's poor time management was his downfall.
