Well, the World Chess Championship has almost come to end. Today, we finished Game 9 of the 12 game epic. A tragic, tragic day for the Anand. Losing 5-3 in the series, and a win in dire need, Anand manages to get a winning position and manages to put Carlsen in somewhat of a pickle. But the excitement and tensions finally caught up to him resulting in a brutal blunder, that ended the match immediately. Poor Vishy. You should have seen the look on his face. It resolved into emotions the moment he played Nf1. He knew what he had done. It was so sad. A simple miscalculation. Let me tell you, being a chess player myself, the feeling and elation of get a winning position and then the blundering move leaves you in tears. The feeling is simply horrendous and demotivating. For Anand though, the feeling will be much, much worse.
All hats of to Carlsen though. A mastermind. A genius. My role model. The 22 year old , Norwegian has simply swept all the chess records off the table and has raised chess to whole other level. A level that only he has been able to conquer. That's it, he is the next ambassador of chess. And I would just like to congratulate him on his artful style of playing.
