Something silly from one of my blitz games. Black to move and win.

White (Tal) to move and win.

It's over. Anand retains his world championship.

Anand 2 Gelfand 1 after 3. If Anand draws or wins, it's over.

Next game Gelfand needs to win with white. G/25 +10

05/30/2012

Anand wins on time in a drawn position.

Anand and Gelfand, all tied up after 12 classical time control games. Not surprising, since in their careers they've played about even. Anand, however, dominates their matchups in rapid and quicker.
