Game 6: Carlsen Forces Win again out of Drawn Position, Leads 4-2 vs Anand at World Chess Match 2013 in Chennai
Author: Chess King Admin
Game 6 at the Chennai World Chess Championship was another win for Magnus Carlsen playing Black versus reigning World Chess Champion Viswanathan Anand. The Norwegian once again was in his comfort zone with a game that was almost dead drawn right up to the 59th move when 60. b4 would have held a draw for White. Suddenly things went downhill and Magnus Carlsen, not the one to show any kindness to his opponents, won the second game in a row at the Championship. He leads 4-2. Read a report on Chess Blog.
