Chess: The king is dead. Long live the king.
http://mychess.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-king-is-dead-long-live-king.html
Chess games, analysis and commentary. Friday, November 22, 2013. The king is dead. Long live the king. Anand played a solid game while keeping tension but started making mistakes. A blunder by each player led to an endgame with an advantage for Carlsen, who tried to win but forced a draw when things got complicated. Final score: 6 1/2 - 3 1/2. Im just surprised that Anand did not win a single game. He is only 100 Elopoints behind Carlsen. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Adam Raoof (Chess Circuit).
