Game 6 : Anand loses
Today, game 6 was
longer.
To somebody who is
not an expert, it appeared that Anand had the upperhand with 3 pawns as against
Carlen’s 2……… the black pawn was intimidating closer to getting a Queen… Anand
made Ra8 – to me it appeared as if he could next present a cheque and capture
the pawn or Queen…..
Carlsen made Rg1 …………
and Anand resigned……….
Sad – now it is 2
point advantage for Carlsen and more importantly, he requires only 2 ½ points
for winning the coveted championship………. With 6 games to go, 5 draws could
achieve that. If Carlsen wins, he would
herald a new era in World Championship. If Anand wins, he would be rated along
with Garry Kasparov as the most successful world champion in modern chess.
Hope that Vishy comes
back strongly……..
