WCC R05: Anand wins with black in 35 moves
"Anand the Brave!" writes Levon Aronian in his assessment of game five of the World Championship. "Not many people would repeat the same risky line against Kramnik, but he did just that." Another sharp game ensued, and Anand gained the advantage. Kramnik faltered in a tough position and the World Champion had won a second valuable point.
Levon Aronian's take on game five
Anand the Brave! Not many people would repeat the same risky line against Kramnik, but he did just that. And his confident approach was very well rewarded. It is a known that Anand likes spicy positions, and with less skilled opponents he walks on a tactical tightrope without fear. But to do it in the match for the greatest trophy? Did he summon the spirit of the great Mikhail Tal to aid him? There is no explanation other than that something magical or surreal is going on in Bonn. No doubt Kramnik will transform soon too. So I expect this amazing circus to continue. The most interesting show is still ahead in the program!
