Yes, its that time of the week again when we play chess. I mean: them. Game 7 today. Carlsen again plays the white pieces.

P.S.

And they already were off for an early start today: 12:58 on my watch, and 6 moves already played. Ruy Lopez, the Spanish Opening, on the board, Berlin Defense. White initiative against good Black defensive.

P.P.S.

20 moves done already - Carlsen consumed 15 minutes, Anand 10 minutes. When will there be the novelty shown by Carlsen?

P.P.S.

Said novelty seems to have been - right the 20th move Kf2 by Carlsen. Now 5 moves later I fail to see what is so nice in that move. The position already is almost endgame-ish, and looks not really anything different than drawish. There seems to be initiave for Carlsen, but I currently do not see it getting him anywhere in a really enforced fashion. But that maybe is because I calculate it wrong!?

P.P.P.S.

I do not see more than a draw in this. Dramatic blunders and re-blunders like in game 6 not counted.

I cannot help it, but I get bored. This game is not really interesting or exciting, me thinks.
