Magnus Carlsen v Viswanathan Anand: The 2013 World Chess

Magnus Carlsen v Viswanathan Anand: The 2013 World Chess Championship (Chess is Fun Book 37)

The FIDE World Chess Championship match between the defending champion, Viswanathan (Vishy) Anand, and his challenger, Magnus Carlsen took place in November 2013 in Chennai, India.

I have carefully annotated all of the games of the match, usually move by move, to make it easier for relative beginners to come away with a sense of how the world's best players compete. I have included the game scores from the players' previous games in these lines as a reference. Where relevant, I have included the key games on which the players may been relying. I have also included many complex variations and explanations for masters, with coverage of all of the main ideas and all of the variations that I believe are important.

Many readers will be drawn to Carlsen's three wins in the match and indeed, those are interesting games. But the draws, especially in Games 2, 3, 4, and 10 have much to offer.

Like all Chess is Fun e-books, this contains diagrams on almost every page to make it possible to play through the games without the use of a board.
