As some might be aware, on April 23, the 2010 FIDE World Chess Championship got underway. The contenders are GM Viswanathan Anand of India and GM Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria. So far, the scores are at 1:1, with beautiful play in the first game, with 24. Nxf6! being the highlight of the match. The 2nd game was a bit more subtle, but nonetheless quite suspenseful. Keep up to date with articles and forums, as well as replays of the games on the following sites:

Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but still fun to watch if you are a fellow chess enthusiast!

yea that
i havnt played chess in a while though, i should get back into it.
I haven't played in like over a year now and I don't really feel like getting back into it.
I used to play chess at a club, but haven't done that for years now (5+), forgot most of the opening theory and other stuff I once knew. Had a friend who's really good at chess (rating 2100+ back then, haven't heard from him in ages).

It's pointless anyway (watching), unless you've studied chess (yes, chess is srsbsns) at least a bit in the past, so you can "understand" (at least to some extent) their moves.
