Analysis by IM Sagar Shah

Some tweets that I liked from game 6.

Kan this really be such a great choice for Vishy? :) #CarlsenAnand

The Kan! Big surprise (at least for me). #CarlsenAnand

Vishy plays Kan without Caro, as far as I know, for the 1st time. It's a favourite choice of mature players; solid & flexible. #CarlsenAnand

Wow, Vishy goes for the Kan variation? That's known to be a good choice in open tournaments against patzers. :) #CarlsenAnand

So Qd3 has apparently been played by Kramnik, Ivanchuk, Leko and...Anand #CarlsenAnand

Anands opening choice is surprising. if it is not worked out until draw,it is unpleasant position to play against Magnus #CarlsenAnand

Actually I don't like the Black position at all #CarlsenAnand
— Nigel Short (@nigelshortchess) November 15, 2014

Terrible choice by Anand today. Just worse,being worse on Saturday all day long is unpleasant,bad week-end choice #CarlsenAnand

Passive and unpleasant position for Anand - something went very wrong. Now we can settle down for a long grind. #CarlsenAnand
— Fabiano Caruana (@FabianoCaruana) November 15, 2014

The Berlin looks much more hopeful and double edged that this. #CarlsenAnand
— Anish Giri (@anishgiri) November 15, 2014

There's something monstrously efficient about Magnus's move-order; he extracts 100% of the power from his available pieces. #CarlsenAnand
— Jonathan Rowson (@Jonathan_Rowson) November 15, 2014

Wow 26...Ne5! and black is winning....Anand plays 26...a4? Whats going on :) #CarlsenAnand
— Harikrishna (@HariChess) November 15, 2014

Magnus got away with a huge error. Almost as bad as dropping Rohit Sharma when he was on 4 runs #CarlsenAnand
— Nigel Short (@nigelshortchess) November 15, 2014

Impressed by yesterday's blitz,both players blundered,Nxe5. Nothing special. Happens,Anand will regret it for many months. #carlsenanand

Shocking blunders... Vishy won't be able to sleep tonight. #CarlsenAnand
— Fabiano Caruana (@FabianoCaruana) November 15, 2014

I hope now Anand does not notice 26...Ne5! until the game ends! #CarlsenAnand
— Harikrishna (@HariChess) November 15, 2014

I imagine they're both horrified with how they played today, but Magnus can console himself with a point closer to the title. #CarlsenAnand
— Fabiano Caruana (@FabianoCaruana) November 15, 2014

Today's is surely a candidate for "worst WCh blunder ever" because of giant eval flip. From huge advantage to probably losing in one move.

Historical game! #CarlsenAnand
