London: Anand and Carlsen Demonstrated Knowledge of Chess Classics

Время публикации: 11.12.2011 21:08 | Последнее обновление: 11.12.2011 23:21

The last but one round of London Classic was marked by a calm draw in Anand – Carlsen encounter.

A painfully familiar (remember Kasparov – Karpov matches) Queen’s Gambit took place in this face-off.

After 16.Qc2 Rab8 Anand tried not a very successful and rare move 17.Rfc1?!, which brought Black a comfortable position.

This draw deprived the World Champion any chances to be among top-three winners – the task he, maybe, hasn't even set before the tournament.
