At depth 30 SF4 now thinks that Bxb3 is even better than Rh6+!

But both lines are really around +2 anyway.

Yes, Carlsen is on the edge scoring!

[JuLieN]

Carlsen is taking time to think, while SF4 reverted to Rh6+ as best continuation:

Not easy to chose which move is best here, and Carlsen is probably scratching his head as well. He has 32 minutes left while Anand has 27.

Carlsen is still thinking, while at depth 33 Rh6+ is now taking a good lead according to SF:

Ah, just when I was about to hit "submit" Carlsen DID play Rh6+!

And Anand answered with Kd7 (SF's fourth choice...) inaccuracy after inaccuracy Anand is heading toward a lost ending...

Magnus is squeezing blood from a stone..... as usual ?
But his white games are really boring.
Its more Anand going wrong than Magnus playing brilliantly.
I find it a shame such a low preparation at that level from Magnus.

Magnus is squeezing blood from a stone..... as usual ?
But his white games are really boring.
Its more Anand going wrong than Magnus playing brilliantly.
I find it a shame such a low preparation at that level from Magnus.

Hmm... Yes, Anand is doing lots of inaccuracies in this game, but according to SF Carlsen is choosing all the best moves...
