    I rarely play the thumbs up/down game but in that case I thumbed up!

    Of course I still have a chance to become World Champion.
    Carlsen may pull out because he does not fancy playing in India
    so I'll offer to take his place.
    I reckon ½ dozen RHP openings traps should see him off.

    Paul Keres. He just couldn't beat Botvinnik though.
