Wow.. Lets see if this game ends in a common way or a game to be known for its class!!

My opinion, he will be relatively happy with a draw with Black. Just as he would in a World Championship match. 

Also, my guess is that Anand will try to win but will only make a mild try...

Both have to save up their important opening theory for the one on one match.

Avatar of Angom_Nongsha_Singh

Even i am guessing the same way. 99% chances for draw!!.

Still can't find anywhere with commentary. Watching it live but no commentary. If anyone has a link I'd appreciate you posting it.

Playchess do commentary I think? Might be a pay site.

Seems normal to attack the d5 pawn considering how much it's cramping Carlsen's position? Also Qb6 is possible now the bishop has left the queenside.

Yeah!! Exactly.

I bet the Hou-Nakamura game is more exciting than the Anand game. It started out a Sicilian defence, but now it looks like a Spanish opening.

Avatar of Scottrf

Looks like a Sicilian more than a Spanish to me with f3 rather than c3, the knight on c3 and placement of the open files. Plus a fianchetto in the Ruy is rare.

Avatar of Angom_Nongsha_Singh

Its sicilian only!..

Avatar of trysts

I get positions which look very similar in the Spanish opening.
