Fabulous Radjabov and another great win!!! 🙂
A good game! Keep on fighting Vishy!
fantastic game !
That was great game by Anand with Black. (He tried for a surprise attack initially, with just pawns & Queen)
I would better vote for win/loss than a draw.
He has a lot of time to come backk.
Best of luck Vishy, dont forget, you are World Chess Champion!
