Anand’s Post Game Comments, German Chess League 2012

19 March 2012, Kuala LumpurChessvibes.com reported that OSG Baden-Baden win over Werder Bremen in the weekend chess game of round 12 of the German Chess League 2012 last Saturday, 17 March 2012.

It was the match chess lovers had hoped for: the clinch between the titans of the Bundesliga OSG Baden Baden and Werder Bremen was a nail-biting match in which 16 top grandmasters battled it out. In the end only one game was decided: Michael Adams won his game against Laurent Fressinet, the other seven games were drawn: 4.5-3.5. With this win, OSG Baden Baden will almost certainly defend its title.

 

After the game, world champion, Anand commented:

It was a very complicated game. I thought I had an advantage and I had some ideas, but it was hard to play, because his knights controlled many important squares. I was very unhappy with 34.Bd1? and I think black had some chances after that. After the time control I was safe again.

Here is the video interview by Chessvibes.com with Viswanathan Anand of OSG Baden Baden after his game against Eljanov Pavel of Werder Bremen.
