This is super tricky now, Magnus is in some trouble.

Edit: Qf6 back, basically admitting he fucked up. I'm really tempted to check this with an engine, position looks incredibly dangerous.

Carlsen tries very hard to avoid a draw but Anand prevails.

That's my misleading summary of game 5.

I take a 10 minute break and the game's over. What the hell.

well vishy semi threw it by not playing 26.Kg2 and going for the pawn grab instead. he had a pretty good chance to win with Kg2 instead of Rxa7, not sure how many more of those he's gonna get

This position looks very interesting to me. Which usually means they will draw within the next 10 moves (if its allowed).

Apparently they both just missed out big time at move 26.

It would be pretty dramatic if Anand loses now.

The post match interview is going to be extra painful today.

well i don't think any of them are gonna play for a win now. i imagine they're too damn scared of screwing up again and losing immediately. i expect a reasonably quick draw from now on, they're both probably like "the fuck this ain't my day i just wanna get my half a point and get outta here"

white is better by enough to push for a win with little risk. I think he grinds it out and ends the day 3.5-2.5.

Heh .
From what we know from Carlsen he would grind for a win if he see even a remote imbalance. Also Anand is down on time so it isn't looking good for him atm.

They both sign a deal and try their best to stay away from the 26 moves in the press conference.

you cant really expect any other questions when in Norway its on national TV and everyone is following it, so the game and questions get dumbed down a bit. which is a good thing, because it reaches a bigger audience
