Game 5 analysis by GM Jan Gustafsson

Jan Gustafsson takes us through Game 5 of the 2014 World Chess Championship match, an encounter in which Vishy Anand surprised spectators by failing to press for a win in a clearly better position. Jan addresses that issue, but also investigates the question of whether Magnus Carlsen really believes there are only 24 pieces on the chessboard.
