Anand started the game with 1.e4 and Carlsen responded with the Ruy Lopez Berlin defence. The opening earned its rock-solid reputation during the famous Kasparov \u2013 Kramnik match in London, 2000.<\/p>\n
Anand entered the main line where the queens are exchanged and black forfeits the castle, in addition to having doubled c-pawns.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year Anand scored a very nice victory against Karjakin in the 4.d3 sideline.<\/p>\n
Carlsen was very well prepared to quickly roll out the moves in the rarely played 10\u2026Be7 line.\n<\/p>\n
Both players continued to regroup the pieces. But while white was shuffling the knights, black grabbed the a2-pawn with his bishop. That bishop was left offside, but there was no way to catch it. Nevertheless, white obtained some compensation by advancing the kingside majority.<\/p>\n
Carlsen\u2019s pieces were pushed back and lacked coordination, but one could argue that white was overextended a bit.<\/p>\n
Black probed opponent\u2019s structure with h5 and a5, while white built up the pressure on the c-file.<\/p>\n
The position became extremely complicated. Anand found a fantastic resource in 35.Ne4! which helped him to finally open up the black king and equalise the play.<\/p>\n
The defending champion was still a pawn down, but the material got reduced and white finally held a draw in the Rook endgame.<\/p>\n
