World Chess Championship 2014, Anand wins game 3 against Carlsen after a painful loss. The match is on fire.
For almost every chess fan in the universe, the world championship was over after the disastrous loss for Anand on game 2, Vishy offered almost no resistance with the black pieces in a Spanish opening, so we were expecting the worst for our chess hero.
After the win, a completely relaxed Magnus Carlsen even played a soccer match with his team and maybe played a few games of FIFA 15 online, who knows.
But while Carlsen was chillin' out, the tiger was studying and sharpening his teeth, planning his revenge.
And guess what, Vishy is not called "the indian tiger" for nothing, he came back in a spectacular fashion on game 3, opening preparation paid it's dividends in a queen´s gambit where white solidly advances his pawns on the queenside trying to keep and advanced pawn. The game followed the same path as Tomashevsky vs Riazantsev,2008 until move 25 except for a pawn in h3. Carlsen felt the pressure and began to ran out of time, Vishy missed a golden opportunity to hold a grab with 25.0-0 , but that didn't change the game direction. A few moves later Vishy was winning on time and position.
Glad to see Anand back on the match, this is a superb mental shot for the contender, because he won with maybe the only advantage he has on the champion: opening preparation.
