#17 · The Runaway Pawn
World Chess Championship, Chennai · 2013 · vs Viswanathan Anand
You are Magnus Carlsen.
b. 1990 · The Grinder from Norway · Meet the Legend
Chennai, 2013, game nine — Anand's last stand. For once he gets exactly what he wants: pawns storming your king, pieces massing for mate. You are Magnus Carlsen, and your whole defence is one b-pawn quietly running down the other side of the board. Let his attack come — your pawn arrives first, wearing a crown.
