Clearly Anand must take more risks if he is to recover from two down. His whole team needs to reactivate its strategy, opening preparation and tactics so as to deliver Anand into a new six game match with a winning not drawing attitude.

Take no notice of the news conferences. Unsurprisingly Carlsen is all smiles and Anand a touch tetchy. Just like those of Roy Hodgson and Stuart Lancaster it is not the words that matter but what happens behind the scenes.
