ग्रेंके क्लासिक - ब्लूबौम का वार आनंद की हार

अगर लोग सचिन तेंदुलकर को क्रिकेट का भगवान कहते है तो आनंद को भारतीय शतरंज का भगवान कहना भी गलत नहीं होगा हालांकि इन शब्दो के पीछे दरअसल इन खिलाड़ियों के कारण हुआ खेल का विकास है और साथ ही इनका एक अच्छा इंसान होना भी । विश्व पटल पर दो दशको से भी अधिक समय से विश्वनाथन आनंद नें भारत को झण्डा ऊंचा रखा है और पिछले 15 सालो मेन पहली बार आनंद की रेटिंग 2760 के नीचे जाने के करीब जा पहुंची है । अपने प्रदर्शन से सभी को हमेशा चौंकानें वाले आनंद के लिए यह निश्चित तौर पर मुश्किल समय है पर विश्व रैपिड चैम्पियन आनंद के लिए जोरदार वापसी करना पुरानी आदत रही है 

पिछले 15 वर्षो के आनंद यह शानदार रिकार्ड उनके शानदार और नियमित प्रदर्शन का गवाह है

Game Annotate by WIM Angela Franco

माइथिश ब्लूबौम के लिए उनके खेल जीवन का आज सबसे यादगार लम्हा था । आनंद दरअसल एक आसान ड्रॉ खेल सकते थे पर उन्होने जीतने के लिए खतरा उठाया पर उनसे ही कुछ चालों में चूक का खामियाजा उन्हे ही उठाना पड़ा । 

कार्लसन और अरोनियन के बीच विश्व चैंपियनशिप देखने का सपना तो अब कभी पूरा होगा भी नहीं ये तो नहीं पता है पर उनके बीच मैच हमेशा सबको बेहद पसंद होते है पर आजा का मैच अनिर्णीत ही रहा कार्लसन का यह लगातार चौंथा ड्रॉ रहा । 

अकार्दी नाइडिश के लिए यह  प्रतियोगिता की पहली जीत साबित हुई 

सयुंक्त बढ़त पर चल रहे मेक्सिम लाग्रेव और निकिता वितुगोव के बीच मैच ड्रॉ रहा
