Even if food can be arranged the heat is too much even in November for someone coming from Europe/Norway. Actually there is NO Winter in Chennai. I would rather see a balanced fight than the challenger losing due to ill health. Unless they shift the venue to North India.SN, Colombonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042996779792668316.post-52999393807233041782013-04-12T11:22:30.976-04:002013-04-12T11:22:30.976-04:00Maybe they should allow bidding because this is hu...Maybe they should allow bidding because this is huge for chess this time around. You never know we could have a great sponsor in New York and that surely is more publicity for chess for this match than Chennai or Tromso. But then that is my personal opinion. I would like the match in the US.Sebastian Wolff, Washingtonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042996779792668316.post-12592517274973501152013-04-12T10:45:51.642-04:002013-04-12T10:45:51.642-04:00it would be nice if its held in Chennai but unders...it would be nice if its held in Chennai but understandable that Carlsen would like it elsewhere.Amrit Puri, Knights Chess Club, New Delhinoreply@blogger.com
