1. Chess master of Israel Gelfand
yoel ,   Israel   (06.02.12)
As I have a lot of respect for our chess champ I was shocked that the sporting spirit in Israel so low as not to show any respect and honor for Anand (from India) the reighning World chess master as far as not to avoid showing his face- its a disgrace that we in Israel show no respect for others. The media.print only what suits them it seems. Wake up guys!!!
2. WELL PLAYED GELFAND !

Congrats on a great match Gelfand. Better luck next time. Hope you will be an inspiration to thousands of young Israelis, just as Anand has been in India.

Only destiny didn't favor you Gelfand but you beat Anand in all aspects particularly Game 7 vs Game 8 your quality is evident. Anand was very lucky to 'escape'! all the best for the future. For me YOU are the real world chess champion 2012
