My feeling is Magnus is trying to reach "his" positions, where he can play forever with little risk. Anand has blocked this plan very well.

Not sure if Anand missed a win as some suggest, but at the time I was surprised he played 33..Qb4 so quickly. Pawn on b2 is dead meat.

The bishop went the wrong way! f2 is the juicy target. 33..Rf8 looked much stronger. Maybe Vishy played it a little too safe there.

It's hard to switch to "win" mode if you are playing with mentality that draw with black is good result. Psychological pull toward safety

Carlsen got nothing in the opening. He wants calm positions but so far is getting calm & slightly worse against Anand's strong reactions.

That is, Anand is responding in way that offers either a sharp fight not to Carlsen's preferred style or calm with no advantage. Well done.

Yes, was surprised to see Carlsen think after Vishy took with 3..dxc4. I'm sure Vishy took some confidence from that.

Will know more tomorrow about match evaluation. Anand gets second white, warm-up time over! But clear as I said, no walkover for Magnus.

So far like wrestling, with Magnus trying for a clinch & slow squeeze & Vishy handily fighting out of it but not pushing hard for more.

Will be interesting to see if Magnus is content to keep circling like this or if he "takes the bait" & plays a sharper line.

An old tiger may not be able to chase down his prey like he used to, but put your head in his mouth & you learn his teeth are still sharp!

This is 3rd largest age gap in World Ch history, 22 years. Ironic it's young guy looking for quiet positions, veteran wants it sharp!

But that is all just talk & what matters is preparation & good moves & high energy each game. Can't get too caught up in these clouds.
