Viswanathan Anand has given an interview to Outlook India. When he was talking about his first computer usage, he mentioned,

At the beginning I was totally proficient in using the mouse upside down. I had no idea. I had just started using the mouse in reverse and I found it moved. He was absolutely impressed that I could do it perfectly, I had no issues whatsoever. I was just doing it upside down.

This was very funny. It reminded me of my own embarrassing moments when I was first introduced to the computer.

As usual web presence of Linares chess seems to be lacking a lot. The official website only in Spanish does not have any live relays. Chessdom has live relays of two of the four games with commentary. I could not even find that when the Topalov-Kamsky game is on. I have found the live relay of all games available from ChessOK. This site is nice, clean and fast updating with analysis from Rybka chess engine.
