I was looking through the FIDE rating list recently (exciting life I lead, I know) and checking out the strength in depth of the top countries.

White has a dominant position. However, Vladimir Kramnik failed to find the strongest continuation and eventually lost the game. Can you calculate all the lines correctly?

Carlsen-Anand @ Tal Memorial 2013
User Rating: / 15

By GM Lars Bo Hansen, PhD, MBA

The last meeting between World Champion Vishy Anand and his challenger Magnus Carlsen before their upcoming World Championship match in November ended with a surprisingly smooth win for the challenger. Once again Carlsen demonstrated his subtle positional feel for the game, reminiscent of former positional greats like Capablanca, Smyslov, Petrosian, and Karpov. As in many games by these players, Black quickly fell into a strategically lost position without having made any really obvious mistakes, just subtle inaccuracies. A thorough study of how this game unfolded is highly instructive.

In this special weekly column we will be looking at the most unexpected upsets that happened last week. Players usually face opponents of a similar level. Considerably less frequent are situations when a significantly lower-rated player succeeds in beating a much stronger adversary.
