World number One Chess Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen today expressed satisfaction at the arrangements made for his World Championship match against Indian great Viswanathan Anand as he inspected the venue along with his team here.
22-year-old Carlsen was accompanied by his manager Espen Agdestein and his father Henrik Carlsen.
"I am happy with the arrangements and look forward to playing against Anand. I respect him a lot," Carlsen said.
Carlsen said his November 7-28 contest against Anand will be very interesting and that it would be one of the finest matches in the history of Chess.
The Norwegian said he was confident of snatching the World title from Anand.
"When playing a World Championship match, you should have supreme confidence in your abilities," Carlsen said in his reply to a question about his chances in the match.
When a reporter queried about his role in helping Anand in his match against Vaselien Topalov in 2010, Carlsen was quick to respond that he did not have any major role to play in that match.
But Carlson said he worked with Anand during 2007-2008 in his World Championship matches.
