Norwegian newspaper VG reports Garry Kasparov is now in Oslo where he plans to celebrate his 50th birthday with his close relatives. According to the newspaper the 13th world champion is offered to resume training Magnus Carlsen in order to help him to win the World Championship Match against Vishy Anand.

The 7-time Russian champion Peter Svidler shared his opinion on the upcoming world title match between Carlsen and Anand in the interview given to the RCF website.

Unlike his challenger Magnus Carlsen, Vishy Anand rarely appears in media before the upcoming world title match. However, he's not concerned as according to the reigning champion he's all into work and "reads no chess news." The New Indian Express published the extracts from the mail interview with Viswanthan Anand. 

As we have already reported, Magnus Carlsen has named four GMs who had been helping him during the match in Sochi: Peter Heine Nielsen, Jon Ludvig Hammer, Laurent Fressinet and Michael Adams. Today the World Champion has revealed the supposedly full list of his helpers in his blog: 

The both participants of the World Championship match - Viswanathan Anand of India and Magnus Carlsen of Norway - signed the official contract on the match. This was confirmed by FIDE president assistant Berik Balgabayev on his Twitter page.

According to the contract the player has the right to take two-days pause in case of illness.

Magnus Carlsen is heading to Chennai to check the living and playing conditions already tomorrow .

According to the tweet by the Norwegian journalist Tarjei J. Svensen, Magnus Carlsen has revealed the names of those who had been helping him during the match vs Anand. Two of his helpers had been already known, namely Danish GM Peter Heine Nielsen (who could be seen in Sochi) and Carlsen's friend and compatriot GM Jon Ludvig Hammer.
