Anand working on ideas for Championship rematch with Carlsen

‘My thought are already starting to form. I have got quite a few ideas about what I am going to do. Over the next few months or so I will try to crystallise my thoughts, make some plans. Though April I am taking a break,’ Anand said on Wednesday.

Five-time world champion Anand lost the crown to Carlsen November last, paving the way for a revenge match with the Norwegian. He had earned the right to play Carlsen after he won the 2014 FIDE Candidates Chess tournament after settling for a draw with Sergey Karjakin of Russia in the 13th and penultimate round last Saturday.

‘I know for sure that I would be playing Carlsen but I am not going to make my plans openly. I do not think I should be discussing about it now,’ Anand said when asked if he would bring about changes to his game this time around.

About the upcoming big match, he added: ‘Well, the match is very important. It is not what you plan that you get. As I have said I have my ideas and I am not going to discuss about it. Everything is looking positive. So, I will not tell you what my strategies will be.’
