"He [Kramnik] is a very classical player and has a very deep understanding of chess. He feels very comfortable in matches.
"Since we do a lot of work and especially now a days with computers, both of us will have an extensive analysis. I expect the games to be well fought and hopefully interesting for the public.
"We have been rivals for a long time but it's different when you play a match. In a tournament he is one among 13 players. In a match he is the only guy who you are thinking of," Anand said.
