Anand vs Carlsen: World Championship match thread

Intresting that Magnus provoced c3 earlier; now with opposite castling it appears useful (early-contact for the advancing Q-side pawns?). Houdini claims equality at this time, lets see about that

Bah put away the engines for now, theyre useless for now

friends please update me about the game my net is so slow that video is npot streaming and chessdom.com is not opening

The commentators at the FIDE site really are suboptimal... A lot of basic stuff, although I obviously know that Susan is a tremendously strong player

So far:

two knight exchanges now

thanks a lot buddy ......:)

hmmm

they might be talking basic stuff.. cos many out there (atleast 98% of the population) are novies.. I have been following the game and Ramesh has been predicting the moves quite accurately

shukriya yaar.............anand ke chances kitne hai jeetne kai?lets hope he wins

Queens exchanged. Looks like a draw now.

Queens coming off.

(for those who wanted a link)

Drawish endgame often means a win for Magnus; he does that. Even if it is drawn, it'll be interesting to see how long they play on for, especially after yesterday.

looks like advantage Carlsen, can Anand draw this game?

Looks like a draw again.

I enjoyed this quoye on chessbomb:

When most of the major pieces are gone and idiots in the chat room are yelling that it's going to be a draw, that means it's Magnus time.
