Anand Carlsen Game 4 -WOW!

Now that was an engrossing game - for me, the first of the match. Both players were coming up with some fantastic concepts - and the FIDE commentary was excellent. I learned a lot from that game and will never again refer to the Berlin Defense endgame variation as a complete bore. Let’s hope for 8 more games of that caliber!

Yes, game 4 was a exceptionally great and entertaining game from start to finish, even tho it was a draw.

But I do not want eight more draws no matter how great they are :wink:

Well at least the G4 draw beat the heck out of the first two games.

Given Carlson’s win in game 5, that will not be the case . . .

Both game 4 and game 5 required Anand to make a lot of precise moves - and while up to the task in game 4, he was not in game 5. Pressure pressure pressure - eventually it tends to pay off. Both Fischer and Kasparov played this way.

Carlsen now up 3 with 3 games left. Nuff said.

All hail the newest world chess champion :mrgreen:
