Time flies and we reach the ending of round 7, World Chess Championship between Viswanathan Anand versus his challenger Magnus Carlsen. In round 7, after two losses, Anand chose 1.e4 and again met by Berlin variation from Magnus. The game was generally quiet and many GMs give in unsatisfied credit for Anand being playing too solid. But some also think Anand will need some breathing air after his losses in previous two games. After the exchange of rook the game went into Queen ending + Knight. The game went in three fold repetition in 32 moves.

Vishy played today as if he has already resigned to the result. Hope he is still able to fight and will show it in the rest of the match.

Vishy had pressure & might have made more of it, but hard to find the will after two losses. Broadly good for morale though.

Most 2700+ players are afraid of Carlsen. Kramnik is "immune". Aronian used to have a resistance, but not anymore, it seems

@gjermundtorp Carlsen is playing quite well. I just simply do not understand why Anand is playing to his weaknesses and Carlsens strength.
Hikaru Nakamura @GMHikaru 1h
It is a bit sad to see the great blitzer, calculator and awesome tactical machine that Anand was in the 90s and 00s playing this style.

the Golden Age of chess internet LIVE coverage
Partai dwi lomba pertandingan catur juara dunia antara Viswanathan Anand melawan Magnus Carlsen sudah memasuki babak ke-7. Di mana posisi nilai hingga babak ini adalah Carlsen unggul dua angka. Di babak ketujuh ini hasilnya adalah remis. Ceritanya Anand kembali bermain 1.e4 karena dia memegang buah putih. Ini adalah ke-empat kalinya dia menggunakan pembukaan bidak raja ini. Magnus mengulangi variasi Berlin pertahanan Ruy Lopez (dikenal juga sebagai pertahanan Spanyol). Tapi di langkah kelima Anand memilih langsung tukaran Bishop / Gajah dengan kuda milik Carlsen. Manuver-manuver di babak pembukaan dan middle game kembali terjadi, dan seperti biasa tipe permainan Carlsen yang senang permainan senyap di fase ini membuat partai catur ini sulit dimengerti kaum amatiran, Carlsen pokoknya hanya mengincar posisi untuk secepatnya masuk ke babak endgame, di mana diyakini dia lebih fokus ketimbang Anand. Setelah tukaran benteng, endgame memasuki posisi masing-masing hanya punya Ratu+Kuda. Di langkah 30 mulai terjadi pengulangan langkah oleh Anand, dan kedua pemain menyudahi ronde ini dengan jabatan tangan remis.
Kembali beberapa GM di twitter memberi sumbangsih komentar, Hikaru Nakamura misalnya bilang kalau dia sedih melihat Anand yang taktis, jagoan blitz di era '90an harus bermain seperti ini (pasif maksudnya..). Garry Kasparov sendiri yang barusan mengunjungi Jakarta dan ketemu Menpora kita masih konsisten dengan opininya, bahwa Carlsen akan menang.
Berikut komentar ringan, untuk analisis detail bisa dilihat di link2 di atas. Berhubung partai ini remis dan permainan memang hanya manuver-manuver positional di babak pertengahan, tampaknya ronde ini kurang begitu seru untuk dikomentari.
