In game 3 Magnus Carlsen chose the same unambitious opening (1.Nf3) as in game one. White went for a Sicilian Dragon reversed setup, while Viswanathan Anand employed what GM Robert Fontaine referred to as a "Russian old school plan": planted a pawn on d4, took control over the e-file and started putting pressure on e2. Additionally, he had a queenside pawn majority attack coming.
With Carlsen's queen being stuck on h1, he got into time trouble and went for a risky and suspicious 28.e3 continuation. Vishy could have taken the pawn on b2 with a serious advantage, but instead he decided to limit White's counter-chances and try to launch an attack, relying on his two bishops and tactive heavy pieces. However, something went wrong for him before the time control: the World Chess Champion lost an important pawn and found himself on the defensive in the Q+B endgame. The game ended in a draw on move 51.

So far one can note that Carlsen is not being able to pose any problems for Anand. However, Vishy seems to be playing it too safely, which has prevented him from scoring a full point today. Both players have a reason to be disappointed. Now who has the stronger nerves and will?

Whose pet is it?
Anita, Ben, Chuck, Debbie, Eliza and Fred owned a budgerigar, cat, dog, fish, parrot and owl though not necessarily in that order.
(1) Elizas neighbour, who was not Ben, owned the parrot
(2) Fred did not own a flying creature
(3) The budgerigar owner lived next to Debbie
(4) Ben did not own a four-legged pet
(5) Both the owl and cat owners lived across the street from Eliza who lived next to the budgerigar owner
(6) The owl and budgerigar owners lived at the opposite end of the street to Anita and Ben
Can you find the correct pet for each owner?
