The press conference for the Anand vs Kramnik World Chess Championship match was held. Both the players were reported to be in a good mood and the answers were laced with humour. The most interesting part was the announcement of the teams. Anand has Kasimdzhanov of Uzbekistan. Rustam is a very respected analyst and has many training DVDs on his name. Also in the team are Radoslav Wojtaszek (Poland), Surya Shekhar Ganguly (India) and of course, the now stable Peter Heine Nielsen of Denmark. Kramnik has Peter Leko (Yes!), Sergey Rublevsky (Russia) and Laurent Fressinet (France) Both the players felt that there will be no controversies as in the Toilet gate match.
