Challenger Viswanathan Anand did not get much out of his prepared variation and had to settle for a draw, in the eighth round, to remain a point behind, in the World Chess Championship match against Magnus Carlsen, at Sochi on Tuesday.

Carlsen, not known for preparation, again matched Anand move for move like the last game, and had nothing to worry about as the Indian's white pieces were neutralised move for move.

The match seems to have tilted in favour of Carlsen post this game as Anand could not produce anything decisive in terms of opening preparation.

As the game started, it was clear that Carlsen was happy to get an equal position out of the opening, and while Anand spent too much time on the first few moves, it was clear that the task given to Carlsen was performed pretty nicely.

The Indian maestro tried and did not succeed in finding a path to execute some pressure on the Norwegian giant. The end result was a draw.
