Countdown to the World Chess Championship begins

The build up has already begun as the world chess championship clash between Viswanathan Anand and Magnus Carlsen. They have played each other 62 times, with Anand holding the edge with a 16-11 head to head record. But things are a bit different this time around for the 5-time world champion, he is in fact being considered to be the underdog. Carlsen has already got the early advantage after drawing white. The 22-year-old Norwegian remember will become the youngest world champion ever if he manages to dethrone Anand.
