Chess News
At World Championship Match 2010, Sofia, Bulgaria

Viswanathan Anand (2787) - Veselin Topalov (2805) 5½-5½

Game Eleven - 9th May
Viswanathan Anand (2787) - Veselin Topalov (2805) ½-½

So this time Anand used different opening, 1. c4 e5, English for the first time in this World championship match ... But both players played very cautiously and in middle of the game match was heading towards boring draw ... But suddenly Anand played gutsy move on 49th move, Rd2 with giving a pawn ... Then game became complicated but Topalov smartly avoided falling into the trap and hold Anand to draw after 65 moves.

I was hoping more attacking game from Anand as playing with White, so now Topalov having advantage of playing last game with White ... Now last game will be played after a day rest on Tuesday.
