  7. 99* JJ Ritchie

    Ended up a draw by repetition. Anand could have really tried to press his space advantage but chose to exchange queens instead basically killed off any excitement there.

    The press conference is hilarious though. Both giving nothing answers or outright refusing to answer anything on tactics/preparation/format.

    did i watch the wrong game or something because i didn't see any hint of a queen exchange. queen harassment, sure
     
  11. 99* JJ Ritchie

    18. Qxe4 Qd5 19. Qxd5 cxd5

    Anand could have gone 19. Qg4 and had black needing to be very careful.
     
  12. spark!ptz PH Spark

    so the answer is yes i watched the wrong game. haven't caught the second game yet.

    edit: okay now i see it. i don't see what you're meant to do after qg4 though? kh7 and then you don't have enough pieces to break that

    Getting the H rook involved shouldn't be too hard. Rh3 ... Rg3 and black is pretty much forced into playing defensively.

    It's just got far more going for it than exchanging queens there.
     
  14. weldone RM Chowdhuri

    Yes, but Anand generally plays defensive in the first few matches of any Championship.
     
  15. weldone RM Chowdhuri

    Oh, the 3rd game has become very interesting now. Both the players are under some time pressure.
     
  16. weldone RM Chowdhuri

    Match drawn again...Anand was clearly in a position of strength after move #36...I don't know why he didn't go for 37. Rf8
     
  17. spark!ptz PH Spark

    another draw. good one though, forced as opposed to agreed to.

    I watched this game for a while but it was taking too long so I went to bed. They had heaps of viewers on twitch though

    Big win for Carlsen with Vishy getting white for the next two games.
     
  20. 99* JJ Ritchie

    And Carlsen wins with Black.

    Going to take something big for Vishy to get back in.
