Carlsen new Chess World Champiom

The 2013 World Championship Anand-Carlsen match ended with Magnus Carlsen as the new World Champion winning over Viswanathan Anand 6.5-3.5. The last 2 games saw some fighting chess (that were missing from earlier games!), especially from Anand who was in a must-win situation. 

In game 9, Anand played d4 and the Saemisch variation against Nimzo-Indian getting a strong attack, but then he blundered with 28. Nf1?? and resigned directly. In game 10, Anand played a Sicilian against Carlsen e4, and after a long game that saw mistakes from both sides, Carlsen secured the draw and the title.
