Chennai: Magnus Carlsen of Norway became the new World Chess Champion after defeating the previous champion Viswanathan Anand of India by 6,5-3,5 in the match that was held from November 7 in Chennai.<\/p>\nChennai: Magnus Carlsen of Norway became the new World Chess Champion after defeating the previous champion Viswanathan Anand of India by 6,5-3,5 in the match that was held from November 7 in Chennai.<\/p>\n
The last 10th game (out of 12 possible) finished in a draw after 65 moves of play and Carlsen accumulated the necessary 6,5 points to claim the title.<\/p>\n
The match was sponsored by the Tamil Nadu state and organized by FIDE and AICF.
The 10th game started with the Sicilian defence. Anand attempted a sharper line with black, possibly Naidorf, but Carlsen stirred the play into quiet waters with an early trade of the light-squared bishops.<\/p>\n
In the relatively stable pawn structure the players maneuvered the pieces until a careless queen move (28\u2026Qg5) by Anand permitted a cute combination that would net a pawn for white.\n<\/p>\n
Carlsen continued correctly (29.e5), but then released the tension too quickly when 30.Nc3 would have piled the pressure. Anand was allowed to win the pawn back.<\/p>\n
After the massive exchanges on d6 a knight endgame appeared on the board. Expecting a draw offer, the press room was getting ready to meet the players.<\/p>\n
However, the fight continued beyond the first time control.<\/p>\n
New queens appeared on the board, one for each player, but the equilibrium was not ruined. Draw signed on move 65.<\/p>\n
