i hear that the position might have still been drawn and anand resigned? i didnt put it into the engine
Not really, Anand just played really bad and probably underestimated the f pawn pushing down.
I just do not see the point of Ra4 (the blunder).
ANY patzer would play b4 to push those pawns as fast as possible. Certainly in a blitz game.....

i agree . even better than Kasparov at his prime!
OK, why did Carlson sacrifice two bishops and a rook in this game? To be nice?
??
NVM, I guess I wasn't fully awake yet. I was stepping too quickly through the moves.

Carlsen is a nightmare opponent to have. GMs have become accustomed to short draws over the last century of chess. Carlsen will play out every position until it is obviously and clearly resolved. That means very long games and hours of torture. He keeps on probing and probing to the point where most humans will crack and make an error. It has got to be horrible for a player to be in an endgame position against Carlsen, where only exact moves can bring about a draw at best. One slip and its over. Anand is also crumbling from that kind of pressure, though he had draws with exact play. I believed Anands best winning chances were to play out to seven straight draws, signaling to Carlsen that all his long endgame pressure is not working. That would force Carlsen to have to get very bold in the last 5 games in order to win, thus giving Vishy a chance to score a win. But being down 2 games at the halfway point is forcing Anand to get creative, but the inexhaustable patience of Carlsen will be able to refute this and possibly score more wins. Carlsen is using his trademark plays that made him #1 rated succesfully in this championship. I fear this could become the, " Massacre at Chennai".
Nope thats for Karpov and Korchnoi. The title for this one is The Born SUpremacy: THe Berlin wall dilemma
Seems like kind of a cakeboy, IMO.
I am new to chess and to watching the Chess Championships. So my question is: How many rounds are in the Championships? I tried searching and found every single match in history on wikipedia but they seem to differ every single year. It doesn't seem to end once a player gets a specific amount of points either. How is this determined?

12 rounds.
Whoever gets to 6.5 points first wins.
If its a 6-6 tie, they split the money, but play G/30 games to determine the winner.
(Most feel Anand would have the advantage there, as he used to take less time than that to win G/2 hour games.)
First player to 6.5 points is the winner. Score is presently 4-2.
Anand is a weak player. He keeps letting Carlsen play on his strength : the end game.
Not as weak as your trolling.
Why don't we just admit that Anand is terribly weak?
Why don't we just admit that you're a waste of bandwidth?
Althought I think that both players are great, I also think that Carlsen is better on the endgame, and that's why he won the last two games. Now, with 6-4 he has a big deal and Anand has to play really risky (or better endgames) to win some games. BUT, if he plays risky lines he might also lose ! I am curious to see what he is going to try as white in the next game !
Please say something in this regard
