Round 10: Anand - Carlsen
Today's game was very interesting, Carlsen boldly challenged Anand even when in the match situation draw was good enough. Anand went for a very unpleasant new idea 12. Bg5 but Carlsen was again well prepared. With very tough defensive moves he neutralized white's initiative and went on to draw comfortably. With only two more games left, he can feel his task almost completed and I don't believe Anand will be able to equalize in the last games... See more

World Chess Championship 2014: Live commentary on round 9

Official broadcast

Our aim will be to provide LIVE commentary on most of the games between Anand and Carlsen in their fight for the title of World Champion.

Our commentator today is IM Tihomir Yanev.

Round 9: Carlsen - Anand
As we are approaching the final game, it looks like Carlsen has full control of the match, but it would be quite interesting if Anand (who is a great specialist in rapid chess) manages to level the score in the next few days. Today for some reason Anand avoided Sicilian (which might be his best effort to play a sharper position) and we'll most likely head into Ruy Lopez. Being a point ahead, Carlsen doesn't mind playing Berlin Defence again. Last time he played a "risk-free" position and he hopes for the same scenario today... See more

Live commentary of round 8 of World Chess Championship

Photo by Vladimir Barsky (Official Website)

Round 8: Anand - Carlsen
In yesterday's game Anand survived in an endgame with four pawns and a rook against rook, knight and two pawns. His defence was not at all easy having in mind that the swap of the rooks was in not in his favour. Finally he managed to save it after more than 120 moves which means that he must be a bit tired today. I hope he has enough resources to get back on track and show some fighting spirit. Yesterday's game witnessed a high theoretical clash between analytical teams and in my opinion Carlsen's team prevailed in this competition. For the first 25 moves they repeated an already well known game and only a couple of moves later Anand experienced problems. Then he decided to sac his bishop for white connected pawns hoping to save the resulting endgame. ... See more

Round 7: Carlsen - Anand
Second part of the match. Anand has black pieces again and he had only one rest day to recover from his painful loss in game 6. Would he repeat Sicilian Kan, or will he opt for something more solid? Anand repeats Berlin - he played it in the second game of the match where he was very close to complete equality. Carlsen agrees to get the Main line - an extremely complicated endgame - where black has damaged pawn structure and his king is stuck in the centre, but having a strong bishop pair in open position...

Commentary on Round 4 game by GM Delchev

Round 4: Carlsen - Anand (½-½)
The match came to its first critical point for Carlsen after he lost yesterday's game and the result was levelled again. How he will play after defeat, I think this is a difficult moment for him as he is losing rather seldom. 1. e4 For the second time in the match Magnus chooses this move. For me it is a signal that he is in attacking mood today... See more
