Is Vishy ahead right now? Considering time remaining?
Too early to say...theoretically and as per engines, he is slightly better but there does not seem a clear plan on how to push advantage

Anything changed now? What do u think will be best attack options from here? Vishy has to nail this! :cheer:

Oh...don't go by engines for 1.33 or so...what the engines imply is, given all possibilities from that point onwards, more often that not, white will win...It does not say that , if black plays properly , it can't draw or even win ( with some sub-optimal or blunder moves by white ). If engines say "White is winning" like they did in last game, then they are reasonably right. I can say one thing - Anand is trying to beat Carlsen on his game i.e create a compicated position and put opponent is time trouble...that was Carlsen formula and now Anand is trying it on him

Good to see Vishy take breaks and play quickly. He can't concentrate for long periods as well as he would have at age 25. And in recent games as game has progressed he has made bad moves. Good to have time on his side, and that he's taking many breaks :nice:

Have always tried to follow chess but have never been able to understand why does white has an advantage over black. Can any of you chess enthusiast enlighten me.

^White makes first move Like the guy in comments said why not bishop e5? Vishy take a break!
BUt how come that is an advantage, it would still mean both black and white would have same number of moves etc. maybe im confused

The first move forces a certain response ( or a limited set of responses only ) at the top level

White can make a threat to which black has to defend. If white makes a checkmating threat and black makes his own checkmating threat in response, white can checkmate first.
