Magnus Carlsen Draws first Blood!Vishy loss fifth Game!

[vaithy]

In a significant blow for the World Chess champion Viswanath Anand suffers the first loss of the match, in playing Black pieces in the fifth Game. When I came to Youtube for watching the game already thirthy moves gone.. (usually I give chess match a priority rather than cricket.. but when whole of India is making grand farewell to Sachin i cann't be left alone..
It seem very bad position for the champion when he cann't activate his both bishop and carlsen opt for the early queen exchange..
after 50th move Anand was left with only one pawn against two rook pawn and rook for each player..WGM Susan Polgar give some insteresting analysis where even in the lost position Anand can draw by moving his King to a8,... but alas! wily Magnus seen it clearly and move his rook to h7 where Anand 's king stayed in the 6th file...Every body is waiting for Anand to throw his towel.. because he is very much nervous.. and biting his nails, contrary to Carlsen who was much composed and with bemused look.. When Anand sign the score sheet.. it is all over for him.. some say he is due for double white pieces so he can turn the tide.. but i doubt it.. because anand strength is in Black pieces, where his creative mind excell and reason for he is a champion for the decade.. Carlsen is new face.. even in India he has lot of fans following....let is wait for the 6th game magic...

Good game by Carlsen. Vishy under pressure now.

 

[ashs1]

he made some small minor mistake..most decisive being the Rd4 move

Time to strike back !!

PS: I do play chess but don't know how in "english" moves such as Rd4 (as said above) translates to !

Thanks.

Actually I always got confused between two letters. Didn't know that the first letter pointed to the pieces.

PS: Still I'll have to learn what are they (pieces- pawn,bishop) called in english. Know only a few.

 

[ashs1]

yeah..like whitestar_999 said, rd4 is : Rook to D4.

its almost a done deal now..Anand trails by 2-4...

 

[ashs1]

Extremely important 9th game today !! Anand HAS to win today so that he has the slightest chance of defeating carlsen..
Good luck anand

Anand lost

The tourni is almost over. Winning 3 straight games is near impossible.

IDK jack about chess,But i feel bad when any Indian sportsman loses

 

[whitestar_999]

this is what they mean by born genius over hard work.it is not that geniuses don't work hard but just that to defeat a genius you need a genius.Magnus Carlsen is a bit like Bobby Fischer & Viswanathan Anand,no doubt a world class player,simply can not defeat such a chess prodigy.

True, but the 10.000 Hour Rule proves quite handy if you aren't born a natural and if you could make those hours count, then you don't need to read this
