Vishwanathan Anand appears just a little bit better than this time last year. But Magnus Carlsen is as brilliant as ever. World Champion Magnus Carlsen drew with challenger Viswanathan Anand in the first game of World Chess Championship 2014, yesterday, 08 Nov, at Sochi, Russia.
The Indian Grand Master playing with White started off aggressively, but the Norwegian played a brilliant middle-game to wrest back initiative. Vishwanathan Anand started losing the plot from then on and just like last year, committed errors towards the end. The website and live feed for the event is at [http://www.sochi2014.fide.com/].
On scheduled days, the match starts at 17:30 IST (15:00 Moscow Time or 12:00 GMT)
Magnus Carlsen as usual kept on pushing for a win, and at one time, it appeared that salvaging a draw will be difficult for the Indian chess wizard. But, a brilliant move at the very end of the game helped Anand to force a draw.
Here is the simulation on YouTube. The PGN file can be downloaded for free from here. [Google Drive]. BTW I do not understand why the big Chess sites are not giving away the PGN files for free!
Mind you, the PGN file has been compiled by your truly, by laboriously typing out the moves. The video capture is using the excellent freeware PGN viewer Winboard – a Windows port of the GNU XBoard [https://www.gnu.org/software/xboard/]
