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....

Home preparation in full swing!

Good Prep.
I don't think this set of opening moves have figured in a World Championship game before.

I must say this does look exciting.

Yes Indeed.

Some of us should add a game link Game 10309218 every now and then
so we can keep up with the moves.

magnus9999 has a rating of 998. Is this a rounding error ?

If this ends in a draw, I'm giving up chess. For woozle hunting maybe.[/b]

More moves played.

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.

The game we cannot talk about is hotting up.

The threat is......(censored.....Russ)
