Dual tabs – but Carlsen won – Swedish Dagbladet

But the talk was two blunders of the players.

In the 26th move Carlsen made a colossal blunder when he placed his king to square d2 instead of d1. But Anand inexplicably missed the laid-state, which according to the shocked commentators in Norwegian television was as rough miss.

– It was a feeling of complete panic. It should not be allowed to happen. I was extremely lucky that I did not lose the lot where said Carlsen, who realized the blunder right after the draft – and that at the press conference afterwards saw continued shaken out, more relieved than happy.

Over the 44-year-old Anand hung it

dark clouds.

– An awful lot, he said, admitting that the realization that not having taken advantage of Carlsen’s error affected his play the rest of the game.

The Indian gave up in the 38th move after more than three hours. World Championship match continues on Monday. Only 6.5 points become world champion.
