Sikkim Online Shares; World Chess Championship: Anand beats Carlsen in Round 3, draws level..on 11th Nov. Viswanathan Anand returned with vengeance after losing the previous game to beat defending champion Magnus Carlsen in Round 3 of the World Chess Championship in Sochi on Tuesday and level the match score 1.5-1.5. Playing white, the five-time World champion from India came up with his best showing against the Norwegian in recent years to win in 34 moves. Having lost the second round of the 12-game match, Anand was almost in a must-win situation, but did splendidly to end a four-year drought against Carlsen in a Classical chess game, as his last victory over the Norwegian had come way back in 2010 under this format. For the first time in this World Championship match, Carlsen went for the theoretical duel and was duly punished in a well-analysed variation. For the record, it was a Queens gambit declined by Carlsen, a natural choice with a full point cushion to back him. Anand went for a deeply analysed variation and was pleasantly surprised to find Carlsen game.
