#FWCM2013 Finally a draw. after hard fought battle onboard #AnandCarlsen. This round goes to #MagnusCarlsen. He had #vishyanand on the ropes
— Williams 4Ever (@williams4ever) November 13, 2013
And drawn. What. A. Game! #FWCM2013
— Prashanth Narayanan (@iPrash) November 13, 2013
excellent move by vishy to get more time on the board… thats good strategy #FWCM2013
— Mihir Chhatre (@mihirchhatre) November 13, 2013
As I said, Anand gave Carlsen one more trick to try with g4 #AnandCarlsen. It’s still draw but will time pressure influence proceedings?
— Andrija Djuranovic (@andrijadj) November 13, 2013
Carlsen is the Nadal of chess. Just refuses to give up! #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— ChandrasekaranGanesh (@callchandru) November 13, 2013
Can Carlsen find a way out of here. The Norwegian is refusing to give up #AnandCarlsen
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 13, 2013
After that brilliant move 55 by Magnus, Vishy in trouble! 90 secs for 3 moves #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— ChandrasekaranGanesh (@callchandru) November 13, 2013
Its only a matter of time befor they decide to draw #AnandCarlsen
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 13, 2013
Not totally sure, but I have the impression that #Anand‘s play over last few moves has been mega accurate. #AnandCarlsen #draw
— Jonathan Rowson (@Jonathan_Rowson) November 13, 2013
#FWCM2013 Anand in serious time trouble
— EugeneMANOFSTYLE (@eqmanofstyle) November 13, 2013
Carlsen just doesn’t stop trying. Pulling out all stops including an attempt to put Anand under time pressure. Fascinating. #AnandCarlsen
— ChandrasekaranGanesh (@callchandru) November 13, 2013
Path to draw via @viditchess Ra7 Kb5 Rg8 Rge3 Ka3! and e8 Q next move. #AnandCarlsen #Wish4Vishy (but he just played Red8!?…)
— Jonathan Rowson (@Jonathan_Rowson) November 13, 2013
The game into 6th hour. What a battle! Physical fitness as well as mental toughness being tested here #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— ChandrasekaranGanesh (@callchandru) November 13, 2013
One has to have nerves of steel to stay calm here. The draw is so close, yet there is no forced line in sight #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— Natalia Pogonina (@Pogonina) November 13, 2013
A European scribe has had enough of it. He reckons “There are not many moves possible. Finish it off!” #AnandCarlsen
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 13, 2013
#FWCM2013 few new things abt Vishy: 1. More nail biting 2. Talking to self and 3. Crocin has replaced NIIT on his shirt #AnandCarlsen
— asimpereira (@asimpereira) November 13, 2013
#FWCM2013 Carlsen once won a rook endgame with 4vs4 on one side of the board vs Pono. So being a pawn up is plenty of reason to continue…
— Albrecht Anselm (@AlbrechtAnselm) November 13, 2013
I like that even in drawing positions both Anand & Magnus still play it out. Great example for young players like me #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— Claudia Munoz (@chesscampeona) November 13, 2013
With the game stretching many fans have left the venue with draw being the most likely outcome #AnandCarlsen #WCC
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 13, 2013
Anand begging for a draw, Carlsen not letting him! #AnandCarlsen #nrksjakk #FWCM2013
— Atle Indrelid (@aindrelid) November 13, 2013
Carlsen went for Rg3 instead of doubling rooks and chopping off pawn on each file. Interesting! #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen
— Venkatesh Damodar (@killervenki) November 13, 2013
#AnandCarlsen Game going for the draw, unless a drastic blunder by any player. Engine advantage 0.60 to Carlsen, but not enough. #FWCM2013
— Outflank (@outflank) November 13, 2013
@SusanPolgar: The #1 hashtag of all of India is #AnandCarlsen and #3 is #FWCM2013. #ThankYouSachin is #2
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 13, 2013
This game is being played at the highest level. #AnandCarlsen
— Kuntal Majumdar (@kuntalmajumdar) November 13, 2013
OK. As per chess engines it’s a draw. Anand should escape by finding the draw line #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen
— Krishnamoorthy (@krishnamoorthy) November 13, 2013
Carlsen is very practical and good at picking moves that pose problems for opponents. 43…Rdd3!? is surprising #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— Natalia Pogonina (@Pogonina) November 13, 2013
The way Anand recovered & got back in control in today’s #FWCM2013 #WorldChessChampionship shows why he’s been the king for so many years!
— Abhinandan Singh (@abhinandan_ks) November 13, 2013
Anand played some good moves and is almost equalised. But the game is moving towards another draw #AnandCarlsen #WCC — TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 13, 2013
#FWCM2013 game 4 is probably a draw now, i sense a drawn rook and pawn ending — EugeneMANOFSTYLE (@eqmanofstyle) November 13, 2013
Nice move by Anand on 43 (Rc8).. but lacks that killer punch #WorldChampionship #FWCM2013 — Piyush Saxena (@Saxena_Piyush) November 13, 2013
It will probably come down to R+2P vs R+1P = draw #FWCM2013 @FWCM2013 Vishy found the right defense. — Susan Polgar (@SusanPolgar) November 13, 2013
Kc3 may not be as unusual as the world thinks Anand aims 4 a theoretical draw he knows while Ke3 is equal but still had some play #FWCM2013 — Warren Elliott (@WarrenElliott) November 13, 2013
Couple of “rook”ie mistakes by #Carlsen there. #AnandVsCarlsen #FWCM2013 — That Rahul Guy (@BestHandleEverr) November 13, 2013
#FWCM2013 looks like whites e6 pawn is now going to be a thorn in Magnus’ game.how will Magnus blunt this pawn? — George Alexander (@georgedailybit) November 13, 2013
#FWCM2013 still a book draw, this reminds me of a comment Kasparov made (in regards to Karpov) about good moves vs best moves. Nakamura said — Carles Gallego (@Carles_Gallego) November 13, 2013
41. Kc3 just looks totally and utterly wrong #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013 — John Lee Shaw (@JohnLeeShaw) November 13, 2013
#FWCM2013 As the great Tartakower used to say: “The winner of the game is the player who makes the next-to-last mistake.” — Pedro Gonzalez (@pags1189) November 13, 2013
The white bishop is more worth than the black knight. Carlsen has an edge here. #FWCM2013 — Alper Elçi (@AlperElci) November 13, 2013
We have a game again. Kc3 is inaccurate. This allows Magnus to play Rf3+ then Re3. Black is better again. #FWCM2013 @FWCM2013 — Susan Polgar (@SusanPolgar) November 13, 2013
With hindsight, 37…Rf8! (foreseeing the impossibility of 41.Ke5 here) was a star defensive move under pressure. #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013 — Jonathan Rowson (@Jonathan_Rowson) November 13, 2013
Carlsen is bound to be mega pissed if this ends in a draw. At one point, the match looked like it could only end in a Carlsen win #FWCM2013 — Vishnu Prasad (@visheprasad) November 13, 2013
What a see-saw of a game—at 5.00 am local I saw that Anand was probably doing very bad but now Magnus screwed up! Exciting though! #FWCM2013 — Kaushik Kalyanaraman (@kaushik_k_) November 13, 2013
Maybe Anand’s ‘Glow in the Dark’ shirt put off Magnus at the critical moment. #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen #sjakkvm — GaryLanechess (@garylanechess) November 13, 2013
Wow. Carlsen’s 37… Rf8 totally gave the momentum back to Anand and now eval is basically 0. Something, this! #FWCM2013
— Prashanth Narayanan (@iPrash) November 13, 2013
draw is most probable since time control reached and complications reduced. #FWCM2013
— mehmet gok (@mehmetgok36) November 13, 2013
@Ritul_Parikh No, the position is equal now. Still some play left but equal. @FWCM2013 #FWCM2013
— Susan Polgar (@SusanPolgar) November 13, 2013
Game 3, Carlsen saves a bad position. Game 4, Anand saves a bad position. Brilliant play #FWCM2013 #CarlsenvAnand
— Vincent Leung (@turtlevince) November 13, 2013
The champ is off the ropes! Magnus rushed his last few moves and now looks to be in trouble. Incredible turnaround #FWCM2013
— London Chessboxing (@LDNchessboxing) November 13, 2013
Amazing,Ne4! Ke3! and Nd4! its not for a reason that people consider him as one of the best defender #FWCM2013
— Abhijeet Gupta (@iam_abhijeet) November 13, 2013
I would have preferred g5 @FWCM2013 #FWCM2013
— Susan Polgar (@SusanPolgar) November 13, 2013
I don’t like 37…Rf8. Anand may survive this after all. #FWCM2013 @FWCM2013
— Susan Polgar (@SusanPolgar) November 13, 2013
#FWCM2013 Lawrance & Tanya are boring. They always play their own game (“Veriations”) on live board. @SusanPolgar and Romesh were awesome.
— Nivethan (@nivethan) November 13, 2013
Looks like #Anand found a miracle safe with 35.Ne4 #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen
— Achim Mueller (@acepoint) November 13, 2013
At the final stage of the game..anand is under time pressure…carlsen has the advantage..still anand can look out for a draw… #FWCM2013
— shrinivas (@shrinivas63) November 13, 2013
All the results are possible in Game 4 of #FWCM2013. Let us #Wish4Vishy and make sure that he wins the Battle!!
— Wish4Vishy (@Wish4Vishy) November 13, 2013
#FWCM2013 Carlsen can prevail if plays very accurately now (move 37) it’s time to demonstrate if he really has the world champion guit
— Manuel Belli (@manuelbelli) November 13, 2013
2 pawn and time disadvantage for Anand here.. #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen
— Harshdeep Singh (@_harshdeep) November 13, 2013
Was that Rxg4 a mistake. The compurets didnt find it good. Damn this game! #FWCM2013 #Chess #AnandCarlsen
— Yethin Raj Nair (@terrorisque) November 13, 2013
#FWCM2013 – @TaniaSachdev and @LawrenceTrentIM are so busy analyzing their own variations they are at least two moves behind the actual game
— Williams 4Ever (@williams4ever) November 13, 2013
Now that’s a poisoned pawn on g4! #FWCM2013
— Jeroen A. Prins (@JeroenPrinsNL) November 13, 2013
This is the key moment of the match. Vishy needs to tough this out to hold. Otherwise, momentum will shift drastically. @FWCM2013 #FWCM2013
— Susan Polgar (@SusanPolgar) November 13, 2013
Magnus remember the match Kramnik vs @Kasparov63 ! #FWCM2013
— Pedro Rego (@pfprego) November 13, 2013
Carlsen will score the first point today. #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— Robert Fontaine (@FontaineRobert) November 13, 2013
Magnus is looking very comfortable #FWCM2013
— Christiaan Mensink (@kcmensink) November 13, 2013
This is rather drawing after rooks are doubled. #FWCM2013
— Santosh Pandit (@santoshpandituk) November 13, 2013
I don’t see a way how white can create any play after g6..All lines seem to be working for black. #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— Vidit Gujrathi (@viditchess) November 13, 2013
I like Vishy’s last move Rc4. When you’re attacking it’s important to realise there is a place for preventing stuff too… #AnandCarlsen
— Jonathan Rowson (@Jonathan_Rowson) November 13, 2013
After 30 moves, Carlsen holds advantage over Vishy. Can Anand hold on #WCC #AnandCarlsen
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 13, 2013
@FWCM2013 #FWCM2013 @SusanPolgar looks like carlsen has seized it. Both rooks are active now with a5
— George Alexander (@georgedailybit) November 13, 2013
Carlsen is looking happy but restless. Could 18…Bxa2 start a change in chess history? #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen
— GaryLanechess (@garylanechess) November 13, 2013
@FWCM2013 curious that Carlsen’s pieces have ended up stuck on back rank today & yesterday #FWCM2013
— Stephen Sparks (@sjwsparks) November 13, 2013
30…a5!? is a gutsy move now, posing the question: what’s the threat? #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— Jonathan Rowson (@Jonathan_Rowson) November 13, 2013
Although Carlsen seem to have the upperhand, Anand doesn’t look worried #AnandCarlsen #WCC
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 13, 2013
Anand and Carlsen both have more than 53 mins. So not much to worry about the time factor #AnandCarlsen #WCC
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 13, 2013
Who would have expected such a complicated position from the boring berlin? #hooked #FWCM2013
— Vidit Gujrathi (@viditchess) November 13, 2013
Magnus was lucky to get a draw yesterday. Vishy would be lucky to get one today. G4 is a good one so far! #AnandCarlsen
— AJ Sacher (@AJSacher) November 13, 2013
One idea is to open h and a file with hxg4 and a5. Black is a pawn up and white has weaknesses. #FWCM2013 @FWCM2013
— Susan Polgar (@SusanPolgar) November 13, 2013
Its getting close to two hours and as of now Carlsen is defending well with the black. Norwegian holds an edge #AnandCarlsen
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 13, 2013
Oh dear. A couple of sub-optimal moves from Anand and suddenly it’s -0.9. Carlsen with some advantage here. #FWCM2013
— Prashanth Narayanan (@iPrash) November 13, 2013
Sorry but I have a bad feeling for white in this game. Position is full of tricks & white has to play perfectly to hold #FWCM2013 @FWCM2013
— Susan Polgar (@SusanPolgar) November 13, 2013
Always amazes me how Anand has moved all of his pieces, and Carlsen still has 6 on their original squares. Same yesterday. #FWCM2013
— Jason Bushell (@jasonb67) November 13, 2013
#anandcarlsen I don’t get why most people think a draw is boring. These guys are putting all an the line, that’s always exciting
— Andrea Balduzzi (@AndreaBalduzzi1) November 13, 2013
Carlsen looks like he’s waiting for a drink with an umbrella in it. While Anand’s nails are fast disappearing #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen
— Buridan’s Ass (@chau_s) November 13, 2013
#FWCM2013 23.Nc3 is the turning point according to Komodo3x64. He thinks 23.Nd3 was better removing the bishop. Of course 18.Ne2 was dubious
— Carles Gallego (@Carles_Gallego) November 13, 2013
Carlsen’s 28th move(e3) in Round 3 was rated as the weakest move of the tournament so far by the official website of #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 13, 2013
#FWCM2013 what irony it would be for the Berlin Wall to provide the first decisive game of the match. This one doesn’t look like a draw!
— FantasyChessTeam (@Fantasy_Chess) November 13, 2013
@SusanPolgar @FWCM2013 Time won’t play a part today…. The domination of black pieces is evident in this series #FWCM2013

24.g4. Wow. This game reminds me of the Rocky scenes where they punch each others’ faces freely without blocking. #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— Jonathan Rowson (@Jonathan_Rowson) November 13, 2013
This is the best chance Magnus has so far in 4 games. @FWCM2013 #FWCM2013 White has to be very patient on the white side.
— Susan Polgar (@SusanPolgar) November 13, 2013
Quite different body language from both players at the moment. Imo Carlsen looks relaxed for the first time in the tournament #AnandCarlsen

Expect another long game today. Magnus looks confident. He is playing fast. It means he’s well prepared. @FWCM2013 #FWCM2013

GM Rames to Express: Anand looks prepared and knows what he is doing. Not sure if Carlsen is prepared #WCC #AnandCarlsen
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 13, 2013
Anand’s 22th move will be important after forced sequence 19…c4 20.Ndc1 cb3 21cb3 Bb1. Have to find some ressources. #AnandCarlsen
— Fabien Libiszewski (@fablibi) November 13, 2013
Carlsen has gone for a stroll. Anand as usual focused on the board #AnandCarlsen #WCC
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 13, 2013
At best, he wins a pawn and scores a win. At worst, he loses the bishop, forfeits the next game, goes on to win the match anyways! #FWCM2013

18….Bxa2!….Hello, after a couple of wasted games, the match has really come to life! #FWCM2013

— Sandeepa Nadahalli (@snadahalli) November 13, 2013
Now Magnus has a chance to snatch a pawn and play for the win. Will he take it? Vishy didn’t when he had the chance in gsme 3 #AnandCarlsen
— andy mcnish (@andymcnish) November 13, 2013
No one can blame #Anand for being boring if this ends in a draw. Carlsen asked for it with his opening move #fcwm2013 #chess #AnandCarlsen
— Vishnu Prasad (@visheprasad) November 13, 2013
I feel that Magnus is tempted to take that a-pawn but he is concerned w/ giving up d7 square. :) @SusanPolgar #FWCM2013

After 18 Ne2 I’m thinking: The Berlin is deceptive; often it looks like a little when it’s a lot, and vice-versa. #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013

Commentators @SusanPolgar and @Rameshchess are already discussing possibility of a draw. #FWCM2013

Many struggle to grasp The Berlin because they see it through the lens of an Exchange Ruy Lopez. It’s v different. #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013

After a fast start to the round 4 both of them have slowed down. Anand especially looks to put lot of thought #WCC #AnandCarlsen

#FWCM2013 Anand first to deviate from Jakovenko – Almasi, 2007 1-0. Jakovenko played 15.Ne4
— Carles Gallego (@Carles_Gallego) November 13, 2013
This Berlin defense by Anand really doesn’t leave Carlsen a lot of options. His tea defense is also on point. #FWCM2013
