======================================================== THIRD CHAPTER OF THIS ROUND SEVEN NOVEL CONTINUE TO BE READ AND STUDIED. STUDIED ! WE THINK IT MAY END IN A POSITION IN WHICH CARLSEN WILL HAVE ROOK AND KNIGHT AND ANAND ROOK AND TWO PAWNS. IF SO, ANANDS POSSIBILITY WINNING WOULD INCREASE AND WHEAS WE MAY EVEN CARLSEN STRUGGLING FOR A DRAW ! 38 Nc3 IV: The plan for Vishy is to exchange as many pawns as possible, ideally all of them. A Rook + Knight vs Rook is draw by definition. There will be a lot of tactical maneuvering, a good way to start for black is have an advanced a pawn, so 38... a5 is on the list, or even better 38... a6 to protect the b5 square from the knight. 38 ... a6 39 Re4 IV: Its interesting to notice that all engine analysis show that White is winning, however, its not that simple at all in order to make a progress, Carlsen should move his pawns, but Anand is threatening to exchange them 39 ... Rh2+ 40 Kc1 IV: The speed with which Anand played so far is indicative that he is very aware of the character of the current setup. A not so pleasing to the eye position, might as well be prepared by Vishy in advance. It is very hard for Carlsen to penetrate in Anands fortress, although he will surely try everything to do it. 40 ... Rh1+ 41 Kb2 Rh6 42 Nd1 Rg6 43 Ne3 Rh6 44 Re7 Rh2 IV: Vishy is on the right track. 44...Rh2 prevents 45.c2-c4, followed by 46.Nd5 45 Re6+ Kb7 46 Kc3 IV: with the idea 47.Nd5, eventually supported by 48.c2-c4 46 ... Rh4 47 Kb2 Rh2 48 Nd5 Rd2 49 Nf6 Rf2 50 Kc3 Rf4 51 Ne4 Rh4 52 Nf2 Rh2 53 Rf6 Rh7 54 Nd3 IV: There is no practical change in the setup. Anands pieces are at optimal positions, Carlsen, with more time on the clock, tried to check if Vishy is on the right track. The game will continue in a waiting mode until Carlsen is forced to do so by the 50 move rule. In the mean time, he will be planning his active play, adding fatigue as a variable in the game 54 ... Rh3 55 Kd2 Rh2+ 56 Rf2 Rh4 57 c4 Rh3 58 Kc2 Rh7 59 Nb2 Rh5 60 Re2 IV: We arrive at the second time control. At this point Carlsen will have more than enough time - 1 hour and 28 minutes, while Anand will be with 38 minutes. No time trouble for Vishy, but Carlsen will certainly use this factor too. With the pawn on c4 Carlsen will soon try his concrete ideas, with Nd5 and Re7, while black will have at hand b5, c6, Kb6 and many rook maneuvers. 60 ... Rg5 61 Nd1 b5 IV: Carlsen is heading for Nc3-d5. The move ...b5 is key moment. Anand is changing his pawn structure. 62 Nc3 c6 63 Ne4 Rh5 64 Nf6 IV: Surprisingly or not, Carlsen started putting practical problems for black, playing fast against Vishys clock. Action is coming ahead. 64 ... Rg5 IV: Anand answered immediatelly, showing he is still comfortable in the position. 65 Re7+ Kb6 66 Nd7+ Ka5 67 Re4 Visit us for more features and live play Carlsen - Anand 2014 Magnus Carlsen vs Viswanathan Anand
