Jafntefli í maraþonskák

Jafntefli varð í sjöundu skák heimsmeistaraeinvígis Carlsen (2863) og Anand (2792) sem fram fór í Sochi í dag. Norðmaðurinn beitti sem fyrr fyrir sér kóngspeðinu. Indverjinn svaraði að þessu sinni með Berlínar-afbrigði spænska leiksins. Endurtók ekki Sikileyjarvörnina eftir tapaði í síðustu skák.

Carlsen var vel undirbúinn og fékk heldur betra tafl. Anand brást við með því að fórna manni í 31. leik til að létta á stöðunni. Sennilega rétt ákvörðun en Carlsen komst ekkert áleiðis þrátt fyrir að reyna nánast út það óendanlega að vinna skákina sem varð alls 122 leikir. Aðeins munaði tveimur leikjum að skákin yrði sú lengsta í sögu heimsmeistaeinvíganna.

Carlsen reyndi meira að segja að tefla áfram hrók og riddara gegn hrók í 20 leik sem telst steindautt jafntefli fyrir skákmenn á þessum styrkleika.

Á morgun tefla þeir áttundu skákina og þá hefur Anand hvítt. Það verður fróðlegt að sjá hvernig Carlsen mun reyna að verjast drottningarpeðslauk Anand.

Anand still very much alive and in the match after that dour defence. Still, he will not have enjoyed today particularly #CarlsenAnand

Highly instructive endgame! Today everyone understands the value of commentary. Best ex why engines can't be trusted blindly #CarlsenAnand

Very impressive defending by Anand today too. If this game had been played last year, he might have lost it. #CarlsenAnand
