Saturday Morning Chess vs Anand
 

The ICC auctioned off 15 seats for charity to play world chess #1 Vishy Anand online in a simultaneous exhibition, and I ended up buying one of the seats. Game starts in 10 minutes - come by and watch if you are familiar with the ICC.

Slow down. You are given 90 minutes for a reason. He isn't going to run out of time.

Still in theory until he played Qa4. Now time to think..

what's your rating?

Re: Saturday Morning Chess vs Anand
 

How much did you pay for this?

Re: Saturday Morning Chess vs Anand
 

Rating 2100 FIDE. I paid $350 for the package, which included the game, a 1yr membership to ICC, and a 1yr subscription to NIC.

i dont like how you played this.... imo you should always go for the bishops first, that way they cant just move all over the place.
