World Championship Match - Game 5

Opening: E15: Queen's Indian: 4.g3

Player(s): Anand, Carlsen

GM Sam Shankland analyzes Game 5. Another great day, with three famous GMs commentating on Game 5 for the ICC: Daniel King, Sam Shankland and Pentala Harikrishna. The game was a draw, but Anand showed that he's up to it, trying to find ways to improve his position with the White pieces. Carlsen was able to equalize, and the game ended with only the Kings, one rook and a pawn for each side. Many of the observers still give Carlsen as the favorite for the final victory, but this match is totally different from the last one; anand seems much more confident, and his play is more convincing.
