1. e4 c5 [/pgn] I realise we can't discuss the game, but surely Black must offer the draw here asap?
Shredder has this as +0.36, so clearly Black is already well behind (see RJ Hinds,
Why the Sicilian Defence doesn't work )

Joined 06 May '08 Moves 42492 If that had been the other Anand - Carlsen then a draw would have been offered before that sat down.
But these RHP guys are fighters. I'm looking forward to an interesting game.
I've been staring at the screen for 4 hours now and nothing has happened.
Has the RHP live feed to this game broken down. (again).
Wait....

Joined 06 May '08 Moves 42492 Good Prep.
I don't think this set of opening moves have figured in a World Championship game before.
Joined 29 Oct '09 Moves 1421 I must say this does look exciting.

If this ends in a draw, I'm giving up chess. For woozle hunting maybe. And Nearly Catching It.

Joined 06 May '08 Moves 42492 Move 8 and we have tactical contact.
That means something is attacking something on the board.
Read somewhere that the sharp players, Tal, Alekhine, Kasparov, Fischer....
liked to have tactical contact very early in the game.
