Successive defeats leave Anand nervy in World Chess C'ship

Having suffered back-to-back defeats in the World Chess Championship, defending champion Viswanathan Anand was today left a bit nervy if the press conference after the sixth game is anything to go by.
Replying to a question about what he planned to do in current situation after two losses, Anand said he would want to the best in the coming games.
However when the defending champ was asked what he meant by 'doing the best', the world champion since 2007 was pretty curt in his reply.
"Doing your best mean doing your best. I do not how you understand English," he snapped at the journalist.

Asked was there pressure after losing yesterday, Anand said: "Yes. Probably."
Moments after suffering the loss, the 43-year-old was even asked by one journalist what was his reaction to Sachin Tendulkar's retirement.

"I had noticed and was following what he was doing. But the other things were in my mind," Anand said.
Anand said he had started off well but committed a blunder in the middle.
"I just pretty much started off well. I gave the check and then actually I was going for a rook-g 4 and a simple idea. Then, I just blundered here with f-4. And, this was lost of course," he said.

"Here, I get rook-c and just draw. When I started it was quite good and I thought if I get queen g4 I could get the major pieces get solid positions. But then, I do not know ... perhaps one mistake after the other," he added.
Carlsen was at his best to tackle the new situation.
"Its good go get a healthy lead the half way stage of the match, we still got six games to play," said the challenger from Norway.
While Anand maintained that he would like to do his best in the remaining games, Carlsen elaborated on the sixth game in depth.
