The last game of the World Chess Championship 2013 was a long enthralling battle: until finally only the two kings stood on the board.
Particularly noteworthy here is that Magnus Carlsen as he could easily secure a draw in Springer final, several times even, so the tournament would have been terminated if his previous victories in his favor, but continued to play to win, thereby risking because Anand finally settled with his counter-attack on the kingside not slouch, but still lose the game, thus giving the reigning world champion again a chance on title defense.
I will praise at this point once the commentator Bernd Schroller of sportal.de, commenting on the games live, what is human not allowed to come too short.
I have scarce mode with only 12 scheduled games already criticized; Schroller writes today during the final game of this:
"I think the history of this tournament has shown that a heading on only twelve games is actually too short. After two defeats in rounds five and six Anand was under a huge pressure, he had to take a big risk in the sequence. However, the chances of a comeback in such a small number of rounds are low from the start. "
Worth mentioning is also that the young new world champion played by his own admission until very late against computers. He had long worked with just his books.
The result is a very level-headed, surprisingly mature position player who prefers to strangle his opponent slowly through accumulation of tiny advantages for such as the unforgettable Mikhail Tal to put a regular basis the board on fire and overthrow the adversary in vornab hardly assessable complications to him then spectacular strike down.
Carlsen could dominate the human world chess for a long time.
Maybe he really occurs even once against the best computers.
I would find that great.
