At 2014 World Chess Championship, Sochi, Russia (November 7– November 28, 2014)

GM Viswanathan Anand (IND,2792) - GM Magnus Carlsen (NOR,2863) 2½-3½

15.11.2014 - Game Six
GM Magnus Carlsen (NOR,2863) - GM Viswanathan Anand (IND,2792) 1-0

Despite making blunder on 26th move Carlsen wins 6th game to take lead in World championship ... In this game Anand again selected Sicilian defense ... Carlsen had small advantage early but Anand defended skillfully ... And suddenly Carlsen committed a blunder on the move 26, Kd2, giving Anand a chance to deliver a simple tactical blow with Nxe5 27 move ... Anand failed to notice this chance and made an indifferent A4 move fairly quickly ... And then Anand realized their mutual errors, and it was a tough mental blow for him ... After the blunder he never recovered and resigned game after 38 moves ... Now after rest day Carlsen will again play with White so big testing time for Anand ... This blunder will haunt him and I am really hoping this is not going to cost him World championship match.
