I think eventually the pressure just cracks you. There was nothing strategic about his win, Magnus just has the greater mental fortitude. One misstep, and you're gone at this level. Anand should really focus on something instead of sitting somewhere in the middle and end up donating pawns irrationally, at least that makes the games interesting and memorable. I find his play uninspiring, but maybe playing against someone the calibre of Magnus just stifles anything ingenious you would like to bring to board.

Nice! 4-2 now Carlsen starting to pull ahead.
Can someone explain that last rook move by Carlsen though? I figured he could check mate him in 2 moves if he moved the pawn and then moved the rook into check, then the white king couldn't move anywhere and it was mate.


Anand was threatening Rf8 so he cant push the pawn


A knight would check. Doesn't have to be a queen.

It's a fair question to ask him to elaborate such a terse answer. He happens not to be in the mood to talk further because of having lost 2 consecutive games, and of course Anand doesn't have to answer if he doesn't want. But the journalist wasn't being stupid, he was trying to get some information from Anand and I would have liked to hear it also.

It's good for journalists to try but you kinda have to expect that kind of an answer in the situation and frustration with himself that Anand has. Kinda need to ask that question after the rest day or something...

This game really showcased the difference between the players
The pawn sacrifices were absolutely amazing, carlsen's calculations were light-years ahead

Obviously Anand is slightly irritated, possibly the first time I've seen him showing it like that. Maybe he should have thrown out a really generic response, maybe study Carlsen's style further, watch the replay again to make sure blunders like that don't happen...but none of this actually helps, of course. It's just evident that the average journalist in chennai has little to no understanding of chess so they end up asking questions that we already know the answer to.

"How do you prepare sufficiently against Magnus?" The short answer is you don't.

Games 3 and 4 were really great, particularily because Anand played to his strengths: he created rich middlegames with lively tactics and Carlsen had to solve difficult problems.

Games 5 and 6 were totally opposite: it was lame play by Vishy, simplifying down the even position, making tiny concessions in the process and going down in worse endgames.

I really don't know what happened during that 2nd rest day, but it seems that the World Champion started to play worse chess when he came back from it on Friday.
