Anand v Kramnik

The much anticipated World Championship match between Viswanathan Anand and Vladimir Kramnik starts tomorrow in Bonn, Germany. Obviously there will be huge amounts of online coverage, so it is probably a question of which site you look at. I'll probably stick with www.chessvibes.com for the multimedia coverage (Press conferences etc) while live game coverage is probably best handled on sites like www.playchess.com (or even good old www.fics.org) There is even premium multimedia coverage (ie you pay for it) through Chess Media Services. You can access this through www.dgtprojects.com
As for my tip, I'll stick with my earlier prediction of an Anand victory. Nonetheless I found Kasparov's recent comments on both players interesting. He favoured Kramnik, on the grounds that Kramnik seems to have less difficulty in recovering from setbacks.

Here is a game played between the 2 players in the 2001 Dortmund GM Tournament. While it was a win for Kramnik, it also showed Anand's ability to defend when needed. Hopefully the upcoming match will contain games as exciting as this one.
