World Chess Championship: Anand beats Carlsen in Round 3, levels score in Sochi
Viswanathan Anand returned with vengeance after losing the previous game to beat defending champion Magnus Carlsen in Round 3 of the World Chess Championship in Sochi on Tuesday and level the match score 1.5-1.5. In his second black game Carlsen switched to the Queen's Gambit Declined, but Anand had prepared a deep and sharp line where White gets a pawn on c7 as early as move 14. White's pressure became bigger and bigger, Carlsen got into time trouble and he couldn't save himself. The five-time World champion from India came up with his best showing against the Norwegian in recent years to win in 34 moves.
