The Chess Mind has made the big time

   A little self-congratulations are in order here, as I note that Mark
   Crowther of [1]TWIC has seen fit to include this blog as one of the
   sites offering live coverage of the match. Thanks!
   Also, I note with amusement, in IM Malcolm Pein's comments to game 4,
   that he recommends that Anand should play for the win: "Experience and
   countless matches tells us the time to kick a man is when he is down!"
   I'm amused because [2]I wrote the same thing yesterday in the comments
   to the third match game: "In chess, you should always kick a man when
   he's down." Whether this is a case of "great minds think alike" or the
   sort of [3]mindless writing that occurs when the author is controlled
   by language rather than in control (or some third option) is for the
   readers to decide.
