Some of the tweets coming in on the match
We are all stunned here. We all knew Magnus will push. But for Vishy to blunder this badly. Wow! @FWCM2013 #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen

I can only imagine what Anand must feel at this moment as he resigned. If I were there I would encourage him #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013 #Chess

Anand lost it in the end game again. :( It is like making an old man run marathon.. It was plain tiring just watching! #AnandCarlsen

Anand resigns and Carlsen wins the sixth round as well #AnandCarlsen

f2 and it is over. I feel terribly sorry for the OLD champion once called the tiger from Madras :( #AnandCarlsen

Brilliant strategy by Carlsen pushing for almost invisibly chances & breaking through. Tough mentally for Anand. #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013

It is a great spectacle to watch @MagnusCarlsen create great positions out of nothing. It seems like magic #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013

Ra3 check and game over. #AnandCarlsen

Great endgame, Can Carlsen finish Anand off a second time in two days? #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen #trickyknight

BLUNDER! #AnandCarlsen
— Boris Smolík (@nvmea) November 16, 2013
Carlsen is using all his tricks to pull of a coup. But Anand is not throwing it away #AnandCarlsen
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 16, 2013
Will Anand go for the Rook exchange! He should. #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013

It’s nearing it’s end after 56 moves. Draw around the corner #AnandCarlsen
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 16, 2013
Only Carlsen can win it from here and he is pushing hard #AnandCarlsen
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 16, 2013
#AnandCarlsen this is going wild on the board.
— Moemen Ahmed (@Moemen_Ahmed) November 16, 2013
To Indian fans, Vishy should draw this. To Norwegian fans, only Magnus can win and he’s pushing as usual. @FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013

Rook pawn endings are mc’s forte. Anand is taking the game to the lion’s den. #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— Sriram Ganeshan (@sriramganeshan) November 16, 2013
Anand’s strength lies in the openings and complex middlegames.Magnus neutralised preparation,so it’s time to try to complicate #AnandCarlsen
— Andrija Djuranovic (@andrijadj) November 16, 2013
That’s why Anand should go for complex middlegames, not simple ones. Magnus is happy to play simple even if he’s worse #AnandCarlsen
— Andrija Djuranovic (@andrijadj) November 16, 2013
@kgarg06 @FWCM2013 Yes, and good chances to draw. But he has to play accurately. #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen
— Susan Polgar (@SusanPolgar) November 16, 2013
@SusanPolgar Anand needs to urgently hire Ivanchuk as a second for the 2nd half of the match :) #AnandCarlsen
— Rajesh (@rookd1) November 16, 2013
After 42 moves, the game has reached the ending stage with Carlsen having an extra pawn in rook and pawn ending #AnandCarlsen
— TnieSports (@TNIESports) November 16, 2013
I can’t understand how Anand accepted being a pawn behind by sacrifice! May prove costly again #AnandCarlsen
— Harsha Kollaramajalu (@hkollar) November 16, 2013
@arkantos47 No way. Only black can win. White would be happy to draw here. @FWCM2013 #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen
— Susan Polgar (@SusanPolgar) November 16, 2013
After brilliant play in Game 4, Anand committed suicide in Game 5, and has given a good position away in Game 6 #AnandCarlsen

#AnandCarlsen I wonder how much sleep Anand had last night. Admitted to barely sleeping when he lost to Gelfand. Might have an impact today

#AnandCarlsen….Vishy looking incredibly tense…#carlsen for the win! #game6

Think these 6 games are Anands’s worst performance at world championship ?#AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— samyak gangwal (@GangwalSamyak) November 16, 2013
White is a pawn down; Queens exchanged. Carlsen territory. #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen
— Anand Datla (@AnandDatla) November 16, 2013
Not sure if Anand blundered or sac the pawn. He has to defend hard again. @FWCM2013 #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen

Come what may .. play Rd5 next vishy #telepathy #AnandCarlsen #FCWM2013

Amazing how @MagnusCarlsen turns seemingly drawn positions into advantages. He’s putting on a masterclass for super GMs. #AnandCarlsen
— Rajesh (@rookd1) November 16, 2013
#AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013 The tables are turning again? It seems Carlsen has a much deeper understanding of the game!
— DRMWZRD (@DRMWZRD) November 16, 2013
@lasmin Unfortunately for the Indian fans, yes. Magnus is pushing again. He has no risk. @FWCM2013 #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen

I think this will be a long game. White no longer has an advantage. Black can actually push for a while @FWCM2013 #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen
— Susan Polgar (@SusanPolgar) November 16, 2013
Looks like Anand is missing his earlier Seconds, current set is not working as expected #AnandCarlsen Sorry to say that
— anbudan_BALA (@anbudan_BALA) November 16, 2013
#FWCM2013 Nobody said that chess was easy. We all feel the pain of defeat at all our levels! It is a competition, a struggle.

Was expecting an exciting game with Nxg5. What is this h3 stuff? #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— Ashwin Jayaram (@Ashwin148) November 16, 2013
Is Anand planning a new book – turning attacking White opening positions into barren White middlegame positions?#AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— Graham Clayton (@Graham_Clayton) November 16, 2013
#AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013 The minor pieces have been exchanged, draw again. :(
— Jesper de Groote (@JesperdeGroote) November 16, 2013
Lessons from #FWCM2013. For those who get exhausted after 3 hour long exam, #AnandCarlsen demonstrate sustained concentration is an asset.

Handshake. It seems Vishy Anand is avoiding eye contact. #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013 pic.twitter.com/qZIYqFRqXJ

Vishy losing again due to passive play. You heard it here first. #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013 RT

@vishy64theking is a HUGE hero in India, especially Chennai. Everyone knows who he is, even taxi drivers. #AnandCarlsen @FWCM2013 #FWCM2013 — Susan Polgar (@SusanPolgar) November 16, 2013
Anand shouldn’t rush the middle game and play into Carlsen’s strength. #AnandCarlsen #FWCM2013
— Andrew Veda (@AndrewVeda) November 16, 2013
Exciting Start. Dynamic and strategic. Anand looks determined.Will he be able to secure a win is a question though #FWCM2013 #AnandCarlsen
