If 20- Nf5 , d5 is the simple solution, and Black is at least equal. I think White´s messed up his chances before. |

 | | ajk68: I'm still not seeing it:
If 20. Nf5 d5, then 21. f3
The dark squares are arguably weak around the king, but white still has the dark square bishop. |

However, 20. Nf5 is quite possible move, it is just a missed alternative, it does not seems anything dramatic anyway. |

| Nov-22-13 | | Neogy: How about 33. Rd5? This stymies black's d-pawn advance (and the possible discovered check downstream). If 33... Rxd5, white undoubles the pawns and should be able to hold the center with decent chances for a draw IMHO. If 33... Qe7 then 34. Rxe5 Qxe5+ 35. Qf4 with a mind to simplification and a possible draw. A draw obviously is not the best result for white @ this point in the match BUT it is always better than a loss. This is all off the top of my head and therefore quite possibly flawed :-). |

| Nov-23-13 | | FlashinthePan: 23. fxe3?? What did Anand stand to gain opening the f file in that position? On the other hand, the doubled pawns on the e file were obviously going to be hard to defend, and as a matter of fact eventually caused Anand's loss. What an astonishing lack of judgment at that level! |

There are 20 area where one must developed himself in Chess otherwise the Vaccume will get Exposed.> Oh yes, Vaccumes should never be humilated, and one should not craunch a marmoset. Hilarious. |

| Nov-24-13 | | Ulhumbrus: Let us assume that when Anand employed the stratagem 10 Bg5! - and why not- Anand was using Carlsen's own weapon against him. If Anand wanted to do that, instead of 11 Nbd2, 11 Bc2! avoids exchanging White's king's bishop and preserves it as a weapon for attack in the eventuality of d4. That is how Carlsen played it. |

64.b5 Rg2+
65.Kh1 Rg1+
66.Kh2 Re1
67.Rxe1 Kxe1
68.b6 f2

DRAW!!!
After 60.Ra4?? h3
61.gxh3 Rg6
62.Ra7 f3
63.Re7+ Kf2
64.b4 Rg2+

Before accusing someone of an astonishing lack of judgment, make sure you're not guilty of monumental tactical blindness. |

 | | Richard Taylor: Anand made a number of almost inexplicable errors of positional judgement (which in turn probably have a psychological basis - the pressure was on him not so much on Carlsen, especially at this stage). He could have played:
11. Bxe6 followed by 12. d4 which leaves him with a small but good advantage. Also taking on b3 with a pawn - making doubled pawns - was unnecessary. So after 13. Nxb3 he would have also kept a small advantage. 15. Nh2? was dubious. 15. b4 again followed soon by d4 was better. Then with Nhg4 the game went to exchanges and Carlsen played like (well like any good GM and won the ending - I think Anand's nerves were shot as the game went on as he really wanted a win, but paradoxically he had to think as if that wasn't an issue. Both players have played some great games but the standard of play in this match was not high. Botvinnik and Tal both played some really interesting and feisty games in both the 1960 and the 1961 matches. I can sympathize with Anand as, after some bad results, I lost my confidence and lost many games due to psychological reasons. Of course these guys are light years away from me but the principle is the same. Anand it seemed to me adopted the wrong strategy for this match and was more or less lost for psychological reasons. He may come back, Botvinnik did, but it is hard to say. Kasparov learned from such as Petrosian (he even tells how he had to play like him to beat him) and in the end it wasn't opening knowledge but his "all round" experience that meant he became number one until Kramnik got the old boy! On the other hand it might be, more or less, the end of Anand's career as a player. I think when he was young he was possibly the most naturally talented player of those times. Perhaps the best ever (or seen for a long time in any case) in his ingenuity and strategical and combinative ability. |

| | Richard Taylor: This game, played by a "normal" Anand should have been at least a draw. Allowing weak pawns or even allowing the exchanges that were unnecessary showed Anand's unfortunate demoralisation, rather than any "Rubinstein" by Carlsen. This is not to say Carlsen cannot play like such a great player, he can, of course, as it is obvious he is one of the greatest of players: but this game didn't show that. |

| | ajk68: <csmath>: I don't remember why I was thinking f3 was needed other than avoiding the undermining of e4. I'm not sure it's horrible; white still has his dark square bishop in the vicinity. Although I agree on general principles that it weakens the squares, I would be interested if someone could demonstrate a plan to capitalize on the dark square weakness. 21. Qf3 might be possible. |

| | LIFE Master AJ: Game Six, Anand vs Carlsen.
click for larger view
The position after 47...f5; White should play 48.Kf4. (He went to h4 instead.) 
click for larger view
After about 10 moves, we reach this position, Carlsen just played 57...Kf4! 
click for larger view
The position after 59...f4.
Anand played 60.Ra4, ('?' or '??') and went on to lose the game. [ More accurate was: >/= 60.b4! h3!; 61.gxh3▢ Rg6; 62.Rc8! f3; (Best/box.) Nothing else will allow Black to make any real progress in this ending. 63.Re8+ Kd3; 64.b5 f2;
This looks to be Black's most logical move at this point. <(Or 64...Rg2+!?; 65.Kh1 Rg6; 66.Rf8 Ke4; 67.c4! Ke3; 68.Re8+ Kd4; 69.Rf8 Ke3; 70.Re8+ Kd4; 71.Rf8. "="

<(Or 65...Kxc3; 66.Rf8 Rb6; 67.Rxf2 Rxb5, "=").> 66.Re8+ Kd3; 67.Rd8+ Ke4; 68.Rf8 Ke3; 69.Re8+, "="
with a draw by repetition.

(Analysis position, after 69.Re8+, the position is - again - equal.) (The problem with this endgame is that the Black King cannot stray too far from his f-Pawn - or he will lose it. And there are no good hiding squares for the Black King, either. You can verify this by moving Black's Pawn at h5, and move it to the f-file, say on the f4-square. Then the endgame is a simple win for Black, especially a few moves back.) ] |

| Apr-09-14 | | joddon: ANAND CANT EVEN GET ONE OF HIS MONOR PIECES TO GET ENOUGH FIREPOWER ANY WEHER ON THE BOARD..... HE HAS NOT THOUGHT DEEP ENOUGH, every player has a weakness somewhere but if you don't look for it youll never find it....anands problem:hes not even looking....I mean his queen is just wandering around looking for squares... he did no preparation for his queen in the end...... you mus have some idea?? then the only good thing I mean after 13 axb3 he gets rid of a doubled pawn!!is that all he could do,then he throws his knights around to be takin easily ,those are powerful knights to take pawns in the end.....6c3 also seems like a weak effort for world championship games...looks like anand has no time to study chess cus of his family life.....we shouldn't criticize the man himself....he plays like hes jumping on sharks in the middle of the ocean, doesn't know where to land on...once his knights gone from e3 , hes got another burdened double pawn structure. this happens even once in 2014 and it will be over again.....magnus main idea is to do this cus they know anands main weakness is his doubled pawns!!like hello wake up call!! |
