Hi everyone,
Here is a tip-off from The Guardian about who wants to bid for Anand-Gelfand match for the world title next year. A report says, a Russian billionaire has made a US $2m (£1.25m) bid to sponsor the 2012 Vishy Anand v Boris Gelfand world title series. Andrei Filatov, who made his fortune from transport infrastructure, wants to hold the 12-game match in Moscow. He is a chess fan and in his youth studied at the Belarus Sports Academy, where he befriended Gelfand, now an Israeli.
