The star game (personal choice) of the first round was a draw. Anand came extremely close to winning and is showing that he has learned from his previous games versus Carlsen. Anand is “taking the battle” to him and not waiting. This had to be a scary game for Carlsen; he escaped the knife’s edge – Again.
