Anand will probably just win this via time, since Carlsen is in a situation where he really has to take care of every single move. As a guy with a quite low ELO (around 1700, based on german "DWZ" of 1650. google said that you can add 50-100 points to get your ELO, an exact method to get one number via the other seems not to be existing), I do not know what to do :/

I wonder what are Carlsen concerns in this postion. He is thinking for a quite a long time now.

Black's position is very crammed.
Its only chance is the passed pawn.

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.


Yeah computer evaluations do not display risk properly somehow


well since computers play without error in the later stages I don't think they'd have to value risk properly, no?

(Sorry, this was just my opinion - I dont want to start on the computer vs human thing!!!)

Also note I am only talking about the later stages here!

Carlsen got balls of steel to play the pawn b3 on the queen's side. Seems like he is confident in his position despite his inactive knight.

I think white's attack is also now hard to push, with the threat on b3 and maybe bishop on f5 later if f6 happens.

The first time that a draw seems to be the most unlikely outcome.

I think he likes the idea of getting his white bishop to f5 which controls the queening square if anand plays f6 met with g6 ... Bf5

I hope that's why he went into the tank to check that fully. He's in time trouble and can't afford another 20m think.

Carlsen won't probably spend more than 5-7 minutes on the remaining moves.. he did this more than once in this match, spent 20+ minutes on one move then played pretty fast. if this isn't the case, then maybe he really is in a pickle. i liked b3, i think letting Anand committing to an attack and then defending is better instead of trying to prevent the attack altogether. one thing he's got going for him is that if he doesn't straight up lose to vishy's pawns, his endgame position will be much better. at least we shouldn't get a draw today .

I like the idea but I can't see it happening in the near future. Two pieces control f5 atm and g6xf5 would open the g line for white.
Edit: assuming a knight/bishop trade beforehand.

Further edit: I don't think white f6 is that good of an idea. the answer g6 limits both the white bishop and knight. I don't see any obvious good fields after f6g6. but maybe Anand shows something smart with it.

He can think in Anand's time anyway also. That's always something that is a bit disregarded imho

Yeah I agree. f6 seems like a scary idea, but it seems to throw any attacking ideas white has away after being met with g6. Nh5 seems like a better idea.

i actually like h4; it strengthens g5, and gives freedom to the queen to deal with the pawn or whatnot.

then again, i know very little about chess.

0.00 doesn't necessarily mean drawish. It just means the engine can't prove an advantage for one side or another. It might mean that the positions at the end of the analysis are approximately equal, but still rich in possibilities. And of course the engine could be just plain wrong.

I would also prefer h4 just because I like the pawn wall for aesthetic reasons..
