- Why is Moscow the venue, why is it not Reykjavik?
- Computer training of modern grandmasters is still 15 years behind my strength.
- By test it is best (on 1.e4)... why are they playing all this? But then I think it's almost definite that the game is a draw theoretically.
- No online broadcasts, no press conferences, no photographs, no journalists, no Houdini or any chess engines, no audience... Maybe, Anand and Gelfand have fixed it between them.
- Yes, I will be there for the next FischerRandom World Chess Title Match

Round 1 Results: Draw Match Score: 1/2-1/2
Viswanathan Anand: “Potentially with the two bishops black could be better. By that point obviously I’m not fighting for an advantage. But my position is position was rather safe as all four rooks were left on the board."
Boris Gelfand: "Although at first glance black appeared to have a better position, he was unable to find a variation that would give a clear advantage. I spent a long time considering my final move, but I couldn’t see a way to improve my position. I did not feel any pressure in my first ever game in a world championship match, a fact that surprised me a little as I had read a lot about it." Photo: Fide.
