Undoubtedly best start to the 2015 Sinquefield Cup ... Matches full of brilliance, attacks and some confusing moves ... Five decisive games.

Nakamura and Anand were almost even as Anand was defending well but he made a poor move 35...f5 ... After that Anand lose his match in next 8 moves ... Topalov surprised Carlsen by the move 7...g5 in the Sicilian and kept pressure on Carlsen who resigned under time pressure after 40 moves.
