In chess, if one plays four games consecutively without losing any, one becomes confident. Similarly four games without a win makes one diffident. So the confidence levels of the two players Anand and Carlsen are anybody's guess.
The fourth game played yesterday, 13th Nov., was long and tense. One interpretation is that Anand extricated himself from the jaws of defeat. The Ruy Lopez, a favourite of Anand, was defended with a lot of creative dexterity by the Mozart of Chess.
Some fans of Carlsen were predicting that he would win the match with a few games to spare. That is becoming more remote with every passing game. Even if Carlsen wins every game from now on, we will witness another five games making it nine out of maximum twelve. Interesting games are ahead.
