Carlsen wins Games 5 and 6

After starting with 4 draws, Magnus Carlsen wins two games in a row to take the lead in the 2013 World Championship match. The wins are typical Carlsen play, where he enters the endgame with a minimal advantage, but then keeps digging for his opponent inaccuracies, using his great endgame skills to eventually get the point. The current world champion Viswanathan Anand is now in a tough position to come back with 6 games remaining. Anand will need to find a way to confront this strategy and play more actively to reach positions that he can be more successful at.
