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


GM Viswanathan Anand (IND,2792) l GM Magnus Carlsen (NOR,2863) 4½-6½

23.11.2014 - Game Eleven
GM Magnus Carlsen (NOR,2863) - GM Viswanathan Anand (IND,2792) 1-0

Magnus Carlsen retaines World championship after completing victory in 11th game ... As everyone predicted Carlsen go for a win in 11th game playing with White ... In this game also Anand opted for Berlin defense ... Anand tried to surprise Carlsen with c5 on 12th move ... And after that Anand take control but again like 6th game Anand made a blunder on 27th move, Rb4 ... Again Anand lost his patience and played self destructed moves from 26th to 28th, those were Rdb8, then Rb4, and cxb4 ... Carlsen kept playing perfect moves after that and Anand resigned after 45th move ... In my view this was the last match Anand played in World championship as I doubt he will ever recover from his blunders from 6th and 11th games, though he gave brilliant fight in this championship matches.
