Magnus Carlsen is the new and old World Champion.
The
Norwegian secured a winning score of . - . thanks to a
victory in the th game with the white pieces, so the th
game was not needed.
The match was much tougher than the final score seems to
reflect. Anand had a lot of chances which he didn’t take
advantage of. If we look at the match and stop the games a er
move , Anand would have been the clear favorite, but the
games went on and Anand kept on making mistakes, which
Carlsen used to his advantage.
Clearly the critical moment of the match was game , with
a double blunder of both players. In games and Anand
could also have pushed Carlsen to the verge, but he missed
his chances and of course in the game Anand was clearly
better out of the opening, had more time and a very pleasant
position. But then what happened next was really strange...
Anand totally lost control and just gave an exchange without
any objective reason for it, so Carlsen just took it and the
match was over.
Overall we witnessed a very fighting match with a lot of
ups and downs, which clearly shows how the tension was
a ecting both players and under such pressure, even the best
players can crack.
On almost the same day the Ukrainian Championship came
to an end, where the first place was shared between Kuzubov
and Eljanov with . / and a full point ahead of Korobov and
Ponomariov, who shared the places - th with . / .
The play of Ivanchuk, who started the tournament badly and
continued playing interesting chess but was making too many
mistakes, was a big disappointment to many chess fans from
all over the word.

The Russian Super Cup was won by Jakovenko who won the
final match against Matlakov . - .
The Nakamura-Aronian match in Saint Louis ended - in
the classical control and . - . in favor of Nakamura in the
blitz. The games were very spectacular but far from great, as
neither of the players seemed to be in their best shape.
Now let’s come to the current events:
What is probably the strongest open tournament in the
history of chess has begun in Doha, Qatar, where the top seeds
are Giri, Kramnik and Mamedyarov and the field includes
players over
ELO.
Already in a few days the Russian Super Final will start, but
this year it is going to be much weaker than in previous
editions....
As usual we are commenting on the most exciting moments
from the last week. Enjoy!

FIDE Youth Chess Olympiad Hosted by Hungary Already
Breaks Records
Only four months a er the Chess Olympiad in Tromso where
the greatest chess players of the world competed against each
other it is already time to have a look at the best talents of the
next generation. In December this year Hungary may organize
a Chess Olympiad for the first time, the competition for youth
aged under years. The event takes place in the city of Gyõr
and with more than a month to the start the organizers have
already confirmed the entries of more participant nations than
ever before at any Youth Chess Olympiad. It really seems that
the best chess talents of all five continents will be present in
Hungary between th- nd December. Awarding the right of
organization to Hungary is a clear sign of high international
recognition of chess life in the country which is rightly confirmed
by the fact that Judit Polgar who has been leading the FIDE
world rankings for more than
years has agreed to be the
face of the event representing talent and the Hungarian chess
traditions all in one person or we could even say legend.
By mentioning Judit Polgar let us not forget that a er FIDE
tightened on a rule that had existed earlier participation of girls
are now guaranteed. In each team a maximum four of the five
team members can be a boy.

The th game of the match- and at the same time the last
one- was very dramatic. We will see how Anand is got a
great position out of the opening, played the great b move,
a er which it was clear that Black was doing more than fine
without any big risk of losing the game, and then he suddenly
sacrificed the exchange without any reason and got himself in
a very bad/ dangerous position where Carlsen didn’t give him
any more chances of playing the th game, as he secured a
. points to . lead. A very sad end for Anand who could
have turned around the match or at least have gotten a good
mood for the th game by making a safe draw.

As in all his games, Carlsen continues opening with .e .
...e .Nf
Nc
.Bb
Nf
Another game on the Berlin,
which is not a surprise.

...Be
.Nd
White wants to play Nf and take the bishop
on e with a small edge.
...g !
and of course Black doesn’t allow it.
.c
Kb
.Kh
White is preparing g , followed by Kg ,
which is a very typical idea for the Berlin.
...a !
It is very important for Black to provoke White into
playing a and we will see why in coupleofmoves!
.a
White can’t allow Black to play a .
...Bd
Anand is switch ing from the Ke -h variation to the
Bd one, which has actually been very popular in the latest
games, o en played by Caruana and Adams.
.Nc
This is one of the main moves, but it is the "old
variation". [ .Rd is the move played recently. The idea is
to force Black to decide immediately what to do next with the
king. ...Kc (
...Be
Now White has a lot of di erent move
orders but his ideas are of course mainly connected to the g
move or Bg .) .Ng
Be
.g
Ne
.f leads to very sharp
play.]
...h
Preventing Ng or Bg .
.b
Kc
and now of course Black doesn’t stay in the center
any longer, but secured the king’s position. All this is of course
well-known theory.
.Bb c !
It is very important not to make any mistakes in
the move order here for Black and of course Anand is well
aware of the details. It is important first to take the d square
under control before playing b .
.Rad b
In this position White has tried a lot of di erent
possibilities but Black seems to be fine in all of them.
.Rfe
Personally I don’t see a big sense in the position of
the white rook on e .
...Ne !
Another excellent move by Anand, who i am pretty
sure was still in his preparation. There is no reason to wait for
White’s g because anyway he doesn’t have anything better
to play and the black knight has to take position on g .
.g
I don’t think White has a better plan in the position.
...Ng
.Kg
White’s idea should clearly be to play on the
kingside, with moves like h or maybe first Nf and then h .
...Be
Another very good move by Anand. Before starting
the action on the queenside, Black brings his h rook into the
game. [ ...Bg was also possible, but a er .Nf maybe
White will be able to play h next with some pressure.]
.Nd
I don’t like this move at all. Why get the knight to
e ?! I think White’s plan should be connected with playing h
