Magnus Carlsen secured more draw vs Vishy Anand - WCC 2013 Round 8

World Chess Championship 2013 between Viswanathan Anand vs Magnus Carlsen is now reach two third of its length, 8 out of 12 rounds being played by now. In Round 8, the only interesting story was Magnus Carlsen opened with 1.e4, surprising ye again Anand (perhaps..) and spectators. Carlsen must be the most unpredictable and diversed World Championship player in regards of opening move! Anand played yet another Berlin who troubled him in this match and apply the strategy of using enemy's knife to attack them. Carlsen in fact too prepared and using clocks only within few minutes to reach the harmless middlegame. One should see the pattern that both player used up two rounds to re-warm up themselves before the storm to come next, hopefully. The game ended in 33 moves with all pieces kill in action leaving only 7 pawns endgame!

Round 8 Current Score: Anand - Carlsen 3-5
