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.


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


This. I always think if you think too long yourself when playing very risky and aggressive you lose a lot of monumentum since the opponent can use your time to think too.

Anand is losing more and more of his advantage by thinking too long

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.

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.

oh boy. just as i say this my liveticker posts an idea after f6g6 with the queen to enter the attack through the h-line. This also brings the left out knight back into the game to e8.

I'm still skeptical about it though. And just now dinner is ready. gtg
Countdown to victory: 1 200!

Sure he's losing a time advantage here, but the position is so delicate that his attacks could collapse very easily if he pursues the wrong lines (at which point black has some scary looking lines).

This is great! Yeah, it's a really complex situation. Anand seems to have good chances, but he has to get it right here.

I feel this is the first game I really see Anand digging deep to find the absolutely best move and push himself as far as he can. He is not happy with a draw here.

This incoming attack looks scary to defend with 16 moves to be played with 30minutes on the clock. Very interesting.

EDIT: oh man I missed Ne8 as a response to Qh4 :O

after Qh6, Rh4 black seems to be able to defend just barely

that means, queening and immediately giving up the queen afterwards

Hmmm conputers are suggesting Ne2, not really following the line of the commentators, also a different follow up if QH6 is played

I think Carlsen is now completely lost. How on Earth he will stop Qh6, Rf4, Rh4, Qxh7#?

Haha, just as I predicted! ...b2, and White checkmates with 2 Black Queens on the board... or... not?

NVM, Anand is losing... Yuck...
