Moves in game 10

-1. e4 {A King pawn opening by Carlsen. He employed this in game eight as well when Anand drew comfortably}. c5 {Anand plays what his fans had been craving for. The Sicilian defense is amongst the most combative opening against the King pawn}.2. Nf3 d63. Bb5+ {Another dry position. Carlsen does not go for regular stuff as he is not interested in highly complex varitions. This move guarantees white a minimal edge. It is interesting to note here that Anand had said in one of the earlier press conferences that white could go forslow positions in the Sicilian as well. Probably this is what the Indian had in mind then}. Nd74. d4 cxd45. Qxd4 a66. Bxd7+ {A typical manoeuvre. White gives up the Bishop but in turn is assuredof a long term positional advantage with space control}. Bxd77. c4 Nf68. Bg5 {Carlsen siply pushes his pieces further in black's position. An important developing move}. e69. Nc3 Be7 {The players have reached a Maroczy Bind structure. These have been famous for many decades. White gets a chance to push for an advantage}.10. O-O Bc6.11. Qd3 {Prophylaxis. Carlsen now plans to bring the Knight to the center as the queen has done its job}. O-O12. Nd4 Rc813. b3 Qc7 {Anand just wants to equaliseas white is doing quite well}.14. Nxc6 Qxc615. Rac1 h616. Be3 {The position is about level but the hard work has to be done by black with a weakness on d6}. Nd717. Bd4 Rfd8 {Anand readies himself for the defense ahead.}18. h3 Qc719. Rfd1 Qa5 {Black is looking better than two moves back having made all the good moves}.20. Qd2 Kf821. Qb2 Kg8 {An unconditional draw offer. Anand probably thought there are no chances anyway}.22. a4 {Carlsen does not repeat moves and instead goes about executing his plans}. Qh523. Ne2 Bf6 {Anand decides to part with one more minor piece to ease out the pressure}.24. Rc3 Bxd425. Rxd4 Qe5 {Its only white who has chances to play for a win in this position. Carlsen knew a draw was enough and shows exemplary courage to continue the game}.26. Qd2 Nf627. Re3 Rd728. a5 Qg529. e5 {A good move that forces a knight and pawns endgame by force. White continues to retain chances while black ispushed to the wall}. Ne830. exd6 Rc631. f4 Qd832. Red3 Rcxd6 {Anand is forced to recover the pawn and goes for a liquidation. This leaves black with an unpleasant endgame}.33. Rxd6 Rxd634. Rxd6 Qxd635. Qxd6 Nxd6 {Now Carlsen's King races to the queenside}.36. Kf2 Kf837. Ke3 Ke738. Kd4 Kd739. Kc5 {White has the advantage with the king firmly placed on the fifth rank. Anand however continues to defend the position well}. Kc740. Nc3 Nf541. Ne4 {White seizes further control with this knight move}. Ne342. g3 f5.43. Nd6 g5 {The best response in the given situation}.44. Ne8+ Kd745. Nf6+ Ke746. Ng8+ {Played after a long think. Carlsen is not afraid to sacrifice his knight. In return he will pick up all black pawns}. Kf847. Nxh6 gxf448. gxf4 Kg749. Nxf5+ {And here it comes the Knight sacrifice. White is safe and solid while black still has to be a bit worried}. exf550. Kb6 Ng251. Kxb7 Nxf452. Kxa6 Ne653. Kb6 f454. a6 f355. a7 f2.56. a8=Q f1=Q {Two new Queens on the board. Black has an extra knight but its probably not so important with no pawnson board}.57. Qd5 Qe1 {Perfect defense by Anand. The Indian ensures that white King will have enough checks to deal with}.58. Qd6 Qe3+59. Ka6 Nc5+60. Kb5 Nxb361. Qc7+ Kh662. Qb6+ Qxb6+63. Kxb6 Kh564. h4 Kxh465. c5 Nxc5 {Draw agreed. Magnus Carlsen is new World Champion}.
