The super short chess party gave Magnus opportunities to play basketball.
Sochi (Aftenposten): Just half an hour after Magnus Carlsen and Vishy Anand had taken shaking hands after a draw in the ninth party, had Carlsen gained wearing basketball shoes and jogging pants.
On the floodlit basketball court at sjakkhotellets area played Carlsen with their regular partners basket. Manager Espen Agdestein, second, Peter Heine Nielsen and physician Wide Kvisvik course attended. Carlsen also found some solid basketball partners in a couple of NRK reporters.
Maybe he would get out a bit gruff after he have gotten his game entirely about Anand earlier in the afternoon.
– It was not quite as I had planned, told Carlsen after today’s game against Anand. It was Magnus Carlsen started with white-advantage. But Anand made a defensive wall that seemed impenetrable even for chess genius Carlsen. He made a draw-courtship to Anand and hence it was over after an hour and one minute.
It may also be that Carlsen struggling basket absstinenser. When others played baskteball the day off Wednesday, abstained chess champion. On Thursday night, he was taken back a little.
