We might as well do a new thread for each game. (though this thread will be a short one) 🙁
All the anticipation, all the hope, all the expectancy dashed onto the rocks in 16 moves.
Is the Carlsen match plan to draw boringly with White putting the onus
on Anand to make the match interesting.
Is Carlsen hoping Anand will over-reach himself as White knowing the home
fans will not allow their hero to play such tepid tosh.
Or was it just Carlsen getting his eye in and throwing the Anand team a wobbly
to get them to look at something that will happen again. (I hope so.)
Carlsen - Anand. 2013 World Championship Game One.
