WCC-2014 Game 01 - Anand vs Carlsen - GAME 01 AFTER 42....Re3 INSTEAD OF Re2

Thus far I have concentrated on Magnus Carlsen's games.

Next month it will be the turn of the Kramnik versus Anand WCC match.

Can't wait.

IN HONOUR OF MIKHAIL TAL

"There are two kinds of sacrifices: sound ones, and mine."
"To play for a draw, at any rate with White, is to some degree a crime against chess."
"If Black is going for victory, he is practically forced to allow his opponent to get some kind of well-known positional advantage."
"It is also important to remember that Bobby Fischer was a real chess gentleman during games. He was always very fair and very correct."
"I drink, I smoke, I gamble, I chase girls – but postal chess is one vice I don't have."
"They compare me to Lasker, which is an exaggerated honor. He made mistakes in every game and I only in every second one!"
Nevertheless, when asked about his opinion on who was the greatest player of all time, he answered: "Lasker, for he made miracles on the chessboard."
Referring to his piece sacrifices: "They can only take them one at a time!"
"If playing chess were made illegal by law, I would become an outlaw."
"You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one."
