Magnus seems more like a guy I could invite over for a couple of beers. No offense on Anand he seem to be more like a KOOL-AID type of kid and always a boy sco

  Anand is a total class act. All the other top chess players only ever had good things to say about him. And Anand is one of the people who coached Magnus. He's known to be focused strictly on the game and never do mind tricks to throw an opponent off. A lot of top players respect him for this.

    What do you mean by mind tricks?

      Things such as Emanuel Lasker's cigar: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/extra/nimzowitsch.html http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/extra/nimzowitsch.html and other such stuff.

  So, no offense to him but then you call him a douche? Even if you did mean to be offensive, what exactly makes nice people douche bags? I find it far more douchey when people make fun of people that are different from them, and when they think that an appropriate way to judge a person's character is whether or not they think the person would be cool to drink with. Its 2013, I think by now we should all be smart enough to realize that the desire to drink alcohol doesn't really have anything to do with masculinity.
