The FIDE World Chess Championship match between defending champion Viswanathan Anand and his challenger world number one Magnus Carlsen is taking place from November 9 to 28 2013 in the the Hyatt Regency, Chennai, India. The match is over twelve games, with time controls of 120 minutes for the first 40 moves, 60 minutes for the next 20 moves and then 15 minutes for the rest of the game, with an increment of 30 seconds per move starting from move 61. The games start at 3:00 p.m. Indian Time, which is 4:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (New York), 10:30h Central European Time (Paris), 1:30 p.m. Moscow Standard Time. Find your local time here.
And Carlsen wins. This is really all that matters. For Anand, though, it is also important to know what happened. If I had to describe what this game was, I would simply say it was a typical Carlsen game. He held the slightest of slight advantages t hroughout the game, but he kept making annoying and precise moves that kept his opponent thinking and possibly making mistakes until it happened. Anand's 45...Rc1+? is being considered as the losing mistake, but there was already pressure mounting in the position.
Power food might be the secret behind his success...
Focusing before the game. 7 minutes and 03 seconds before the game.
Playing Carlsen is not easy. It's not just that he is the best player in the world, its the way he is the best player in the world. He pushes all of his opponent's buttons until they crack. Today, this is what happened to Anand. Unfortunately, even the slightest of positional advantages means that Carlsen has something to play with, something to annoy you with. Sometimes - with perfect play, its possible to hold, but this is not easy for every player.
"Yeah, I did it"
Indeed it was maybe even more comfortable for Anand to hold the previous game as he was in a clear disadvatange but had to keep finding ways ot counterattack with the initiative. In this case, there was no clear plan, simply the task of finding exact moves. This can be too much for any player. This is the type of position Carlsen loves.
Friedel's analysis of an important game five:
[Event "FWCM 2013"] [Site "Chennai"] [Date "2013.11.15"] [Round "5"] [White "Carlsen, Magnus"] [Black "Anand, Viswanathan"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "D31"] [WhiteElo "2870"] [BlackElo "2775"] [Annotator "Josh Friedel"] [PlyCount "115"] [EventDate "2013.??.??"] [EventCountry "IND"] [TimeControl "40/7200:20/3600:900+30"] 1. c4 {Carlsen decides that he's had enough of 1. Nf3.} e6 2. d4 d5 {Vishy opts for the Queen's Gambit Declined, with which he won the decisive last game in his match against Topalov.} 3. Nc3 c6 {Psyche! Now it is a triangle Semi Slav.} 4. e4 dxe4 5. Nxe4 Bb4+ {Is Magnus going to take Vishy on in the main lines of the Marshall Gambit?} 6. Nc3 {Nope. This is a quieter option for White, but it has plenty of sting.} c5 7. a3 Ba5 8. Nf3 Nf6 9. Be3 Nc6 (9... Ne4 {is the main alternative, but now after} 10. Qc2 Nxc3 11. bxc3 cxd4 12. Bxd4 {I think White's piece activity and development more than compensate for the doubled c pawns.}) 10. Qd3 {Carlsen shows his homework. This move might look a bit funny but it has some logic to it. First off, he prepares to take back on c3 with the queen. Second, Taking on c5 is more favorable now, since Black will have to take on d3 before taking on c3, developing White's f1 bishop and taking the queens off will surely favor Carlsen. Finally, White has the options of Rd1 and 0-0-0.} (10. dxc5 Bxc3+ 11. bxc3 Qa5 {This is Black's usual idea for counterplay in such positions.} 12. Qc2 Ng4 13. Qc1 O-O 14. Be2 Nxe3 15. Qxe3 Ne7 16.

Ne4 {It is clear something has gone wrong for Black. For the first time in the match, White has the advantage!} Bb6 {Vishy cashes in his two bishops for an opportunity to activate his rook on the b-file. Doesn't make sense? You'll see in a few moves.} (18... Bc7 19. Nc5 Be8 {looks depressing, but Black is still solid and the bishops may create counterplay eventually.}) 19. c5 f5 20. cxb6 fxe4 21. b7 $1 {Of course White doesn't allow Black to fix his pawn structure.} Rab8 22. Bxe4 Rxb7 {White's advantage may not look like much, but the weak c-pawn isn't going to be fixed anytime soon, so Black at least will have to suffer awhile here. This is exactly the type of position Carlsen wants. That being said, it is well in the drawing zone, and some real errors will have to be made for White to win.} 23. Rhf1 Rb5 24. Rf4 (24. Rd4 { I prefer this rook lift, as now e5 can be met by Rc4.}) 24... g5 (24... e5 25. Rf2 Be6 {and Black has untangled a bit. If} 26. Bxc6 $4 Rc5+ 27. Rc2 Rxc2+ 28.

Rxd2 Kxf6 {Black should have sufficient counterplay.}) 35... Bd1 36. Bb1 {It is important that White keep the bishops on the board, as with just rooks the advantage would completely disappear.} Rb5 37. Kc3 c5 38. Rb2 e5 39. Rg6 {With the rook on the 5th rank cut off, Magnus goes after Vishy's weakened kingside. Even so, Black has a lot of counterplay.} a4 (39... g4 {looks like the simpler path.} 40. Bd3 (40. Rh6 a4 $1 {is far better than the game.}) 40... Rxb3+ 41. Rxb3 Bxb3 42. Rxg4 c4 43. Be2 Kd6 44. Rxh4 Kc5 {with excellent counterplay for the pawn.}) 40. Rxg5 (40. bxa4 Rxb2 41. Kxb2 Bxa4 42.

Carlsen's advantage was microscopic for most of the game and Vishy was extremely close to a draw even towards the end, but one slip of 45... Rc1+ was enough to allow the world #1 to steal the point.} 1-0
The match isn't over yet, by any means, but Anand has to prove something tomorrow
So what next? Of course Anand can come back - he did agaist both Gelfand and Topalov. The match is far from over. But he should try to strike back soon. The following erudite opinion was given by GM Parimarjan Negi:
Tomorrow is psychologically a key game. Anand was worse with white in the last game and he lost today. He must at least prove that he can push Carlsen against the ropes, even if he doesn't give him a knock out blow.
The "Best Wishes" board is going to have a few more wishes for Anand coming up
In some positive news for Anand:
Well, its better than nothing.
Anand has been in this situation before, and he won both of those matches. It's all part of the plan, obviously.

पांचवे मैच में कार्लसन ने आनंद को किया पराजित ,3-2 से बनाई बढ़त
विश्व शतरंज चैंपियनशिप का पांचवा मैच भारत के लिए एक बुरी खबर ओर नार्वे के लिए खुशखबरी बन कर सामने आया । अपनी रणनीति को सही साबित करते हुए कार्लसन ने लगभग बराबर से लग रहे मैच में आनंद को पराजित करते हुए विश्व चैम्पियन बनने की ओर अपने कदम आगे बढ़ा दिये है । अब मौजूदा विश्व चैम्पियन विश्वनाथन आनंद किस तरह वापसी करते है इसी बात पर प्रतियोगिता का भविष्य निर्भर करेगा । कार्लसन ने आज पुनः लंबे चले एंडगेम में अपनी महारत सिद्ध करते हुए मौजूदा विश्व चैम्पियन आनंद की एक गल्ती का फायदा उठाते हुए उन्हे वापसी का कोई मौका नहीं दिया । मैच की शुरुआत आज कार्लसन ने अपने पिछले दो मैच से हटकर 1. c4 चाल चल कर की और आनंद ने उनका जबाब e6 चलकर दिया । अगली कुछ चालों मे खेल क्वीन गेंबिट डिकलाइन में पहुँच गया । 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 c6 4.e4 dxe4 5.Nxe4 Bb4+ 6.Nc3 c5 7.a3 Ba5 8.Nf3 Nf6 9.Be3 Nc6 । ऐसा लग रहा था की आनंद एक बार फिर आसानी से मोहरो को बदलते हुए मैच को ड्रॉ की ओर मोड़ देंगे पर आज कार्लसन कुछ और ही ठान कर आए थे ।10.Qd3 !? कार्लसन ने अपने वजीर की इस चाल से कुछ नया प्रयोग करने के संकेत दिए । इससे पहले कभी भी शीर्ष स्तर पर इस चाल का प्रयोग नहीं किया गया था और कार्लसन की रणनीति आनंद को उनकी तैयारी से बाहर खींच कर लाने की थी और वो इसमें आज पूरी तरह सफल साबित हुए। आगे का मैच कुछ इस तरह आगे बढ़ा 10.. cxd4 11.Nxd4 Ng4 12.0-0-0 !? एक बार फिर कार्लसन ने अपनी गहरी तैयारी का परिचय देते हुए क्वीनसाइड किलेबंदी करते हुए विशेषज्ञो को चौंका दिया । Nxe3 आनंद ने तुरंत अपने घोड़े से कार्लसन के काले खानो वाले ऊंट का बदलाव करते हुए काले खानो पर अपनी पकड़ बनाने का संकेत दिया । पर आनंद के मोहरे खास तौर पर उनके सफ़ेद खानो वाले ऊंट का खेल में अभी तक ना आना चिंता का विषय था।13.fxe3 Bc7?! आनंद इससे कहीं बेहतर d4 पर घोड़े को तुरंत बदलते हुए भी खेल को आगे बढ़ा सकते थे । इसके बाद की चालों में दोनों का एक एक घोड़ा और वजीर खेल से बाहर थे 14.Nxc6 bxc6 15.Qxd8+ Bxd8 16.Be2 Ke7?!अपने ऊंट को बंद करते हुए राजा की यह चाल सभी को हैरान कर गयी। आनंद के सभी मोहरे जंहा अंतिम पंक्ति मे आ गए थे और यह उनके लिए चिंता की बात थी । ।17.Bf3! इसके साथ ही कार्लसन ने आनंद के उपर दवाब बनाना शुरू कर दिया। आनंद का c6 पैदल अब कार्लसन के निशाने पर था । आनंद की समस्या अब बढ़ रही थी। आनंद के पैदल की पंक्ति बिखरी नजर आ रही थी और उनके मोहरो का अभी तक खेल में सही खानो पर न होना चिंताजनक था। 17..Bd7 18.Ne4 Bb6 19.c5 f5 !?आनंद ने अपने काले खाने के ऊंट को ना बचाते हुए उसके बदले कार्लसन का घोड़ा लेने का निश्चय किया।20.cxb6 fxe4 21.b7!कार्लसन ने शानदार चाल चलते हुए आनंद की पैदल की पंक्ति की स्थिति काफी खराब कर दी। हालांकि मैच अब भी बराबर था और आनंद के सही खेल खेलने पर बराबरी पर ही छूटने के आसार थे । Rab8 22.Bxe4 Rxb7 23.Rhf1 Rb5 24.Rf4 g5 25.Rf3 h5 26.Rdf1 Be8 27.Bc2 Rc5 28.Rf6 h4 29.e4 a5 30.Kd2 Rb5 31.b3 Bh5 32.Kc3 Rc5+ 33.Kb2 Rd8 34.R1f2 Rd4 35.Rh6 Bd1 36.Bb1 Rb5 37.Kc3 c5 38.Rb2 e5 39.Rg6 a4 40.Rxg5 Rxb3+ 41.Rxb3 Bxb3 इसके साथ ही आनंद ने अपने और कार्लसन के हाथी को बदलते हुए मैच के ड्रॉ होने की संभावनाए और बलशाली कर दी । हालांकि आनंद के किंगसाइड की पैदल जाती नजर आ रही थी पर उनके ऊंट हाथी और राजा की बेहतर अवस्था खेल को संतुलित किए हुए थी। 42.Rxe5+ Kd6 43.Rh5 Rd1 44.e5+ Kd5 45.Bh7 Rc1+?? और इसके साथ ही आनंद शायद कुछ चाल पढ़ना चूक गए और एक बड़ी गल्ती कर बैठे । आनंद कार्लसन की a3 पैदल को मारने की कोशिश करते हुए खेल का संतुलन बनाए रख सकते थे । पर शायद ये आज उनका दिन नहीं था। आगे 46.Kb2 Rg1 47.Bg8+ Kc6 48.Rh6+!! शानदार चाल और इसके साथ ही आनंद की हार तय हो गयी । Kd7 49.Bxb3 axb3 50.Kxb3 Rxg2 51.Rxh4 Ke6 52.a4 Kxe5 53.a5 Kd6 54.Rh7 Kd5 55.a6 c4+ 56.Kc3 Ra2 57.a7 Kc5 58.h4 और आनंद ने खेल में अपनी हार स्वीकार कर ली । विश्वनाथन आनंद के प्रशंसको के लिए बहुत निराशा का क्षण था। क्या आनंद एक बार फिर पिछली विश्व चैंपियनशिप की तरह वापसी कर पाएंगे ? क्या कार्लसन इस जीत का खुमार सम्हाल कर रख पाएंगे ? यह सवाल अब भविष्य का खेल तय करेगा। कार्लसन और उनकी टीम जंहा इस जीत से अपनी रणनीति और तैयारी पर खुश होगी । वंही आनंद को किसी भी तरह कार्लसन को मुख्य ओपेनिंग की तरफ खींचना होगा । अब देखना यह होगा कि आनंद और उनकी टीम इस बड़े झटके से कैसे उबरते है और वापसी करते है ।कल का मैच अब तक का सब से शानदार मैच होगा इसी कामना के साथ...आपका निकलेश जैन ।
