The 8th game of the world championship, was pretty much a made draw, out of almost 20 moves of theory, many exchanges and into the pawn endgame. Carlsen with 2 points lead, and only 4 games left to play is not pressing, why should he? the big question is what is Anands game, or has he already gave up the match? Now he looks to be fighting for the honor. For chess fans out there, let’s see if the world champ can get something with the white pieces on his next game.
