Quick Draw McGraw: Two Draws for Vishy and Magnus

Amazing: the games we've all been waiting for this World Championship series so far have been quick draws. Some people were frustrated by the games being so short and non-risky, but the best players in the world are likely, as Magnus Carlsen puts it, just "settling in." There are 10 more games to play and I'm sure we'll see some very exciting chess. By, Mrs Jessica E Prescott (aka BoundingOwl).


In the first game, Magnus had white and played 1. Nf3, which allowed Anand to choose the Gruenfeld opening. This can be a very dynamic opening with sharp tactics along the a1-h8 diagonal due to the fianchettoed bishop on g7, but when White fianchettoed both of his bishops, it diminished those possibilities. So Black looked for a new target.

After both players completely developed and castled, it was Black who created a target first. Can you make a weakness in White's pawn structure?

Exactly! The two pawns, instead of still being in a pawn chain, are now almost "hanging pawns." It is hard to protect these pawns with other pawns, unless you push one! That's what happened in the game, and Magnus felt he couldn't achieve more, and so accepted a repetition of moves and thus a draw.
Here is the whole game - all 16 moves!

Round two also ended in a draw. There was a possibility of bloodshed though. Let's see if you can discover it!

White just played 9. Bd3 in this Classical Caro-Kann opening. Does this hang the pawn on d4? What if Black captures?

Hint: Just playing something like Bxh7 right away is not a enough of a forcing move. How could you make a discovery where the bishop would give check?
Awesome!  Of course, top players don't often fall for that stuff. Click on the moves below to see the whole game.

Who do you think will win the World Championship Match?Undecided  The old person in me is rooting for Anand, but I also kind of want Magnus to win because I think he's got a great image for the younger chess world...
