Carlsen retains world title
If Vishy Anand didn’t repeat the
mistakes from Chennai, he might have
a chance in his second match against
Magnus Carlsen. But the Norwegian was
superior again and won 6�½-4�½.

COVER
Alexander Grischuk: New In Chess;
Magnus Carlsen: Maria Emelianova
‘For me Magnus is very funny.
He is like a gnome, who has
grown from the earth. A good
ghost from underground.
Always mysterious, but always
fighting. Magnus was born
for chess. He was a gift from
Caissa.’
Boris Spassky
