Agreed. Hopefully at the very least no more Berlin variation in this match.
Well, I predicted that Vishy would fare better playing outside of India, and thus far he has exceeded my expectations.
Round 4 saw Vishy saddled with split Ps on the queenside, but he managed to defend accurately, and Magnus was unable to make progress in the end.
Let’s see how it goes tomorrow…

Anand failed to heed our forewarning here. Doesn’t anyone play the French these days?

Or why not a Caro-Khan? Does it anyone plays it either?. I thought Anand would come up with a solid defense with black and leave it all for the 12th game to play it with white.
