According to Norwegian TV, the norwegian national team has actually prepared and discussed this scenario for a long time.


Would be sick if he is thinking a bit longer to make it seem he is a bit underprepared for this position, but actually is super prepared :D


I'm pretty sure people already do this. Giving away when you left your preparation is huge. They usually say something like: "I was going through all the lines to make sure I remembered my preparation", but hiding information must be just as important.

i don't see how Anand can attack efficiently on the king side, tho he kinda has to because of the forward G pawn. Magnus' Ra6 makes it even harder, especially since the rook can't be attacked any time soon..

Its interesting how those guys grab their best buddys and go into bootcamp few month beforehand. Secret strats and heavy analysis in a game where its nearly impossible to get an edge anywhere before turn 20.

Gonna follow the games for sure, hope its as good covered as the challenger tourney.


Studying from replays and learning by heart is like 90% of preparation for such a series.

This is turning out to be the best game of the match so far.

The computer lines seem split between f5 and axb4. All saying its about equal though. My naive evaluation would prefer f5.

EDIT: and we see axb4.

I know nothing, but this is amazing to just go through really crappy ways to get myself checkmated from their boardstate.

Edit: Is pawn to f6 a correct play? If not why? I see almost nothing wrong with it .

I totally agree. I watched the first match, having never watched a chess match before, with a friend of mine who plays chess and could explain some more stuff to me since I didn't really know much aside from how the pieces move.

It's extremely entertaining to just think along with the people playing the match and the commentators and see what would work and what doesn't.
Looks like their efforts... were in Vayne. (*sunglasses* YEAAAAAAAAA)

This is very exciting after that surprise pawn advance threatening the king! A sharp position which ironically the computer says less than a quarter-pawn's advantage for either side.

The knives are out!

This position is so entertaining. I can even imagine the lines where Black gets 2nd Queen only to get checkmated anyway.

ATM, the a6-Knight is ridiculous, and with lack of activity for Black, it looks like drawing this will be a miracle for Carlsen.

At the risk of violating my own mod note... it's this kind of position which nicely illustrates the difference between computer and human chess all the engines are saying this is a drawish position but there looks to be so many interesting human lines because the drawn lines require perfect play.

on a more serious note: how 'bout taking down the mod note? I think we are over it by now.

And I'm really happy Anand was playing mind games and now brings his full strength to the board. really interesting position. And I love to do pawn attacks like these myself.
Countdown to victory: 1 200!
