At World Chess Championship 2012, Moscow, Russia

Game 11 - 26th May 2012
Boris Gelfand (ISR,2727) dw Viswanathan Anand (IND,2791) ½-½ (5½-5½)

Important game for both players as only last 2 games were remaining ... This was last time Gelfand playing with white and Anand again used Nimzo Indian defense but on 8th played rare Bd7 move ... Gelfand played cautiously avoiding complication ... They agreed draw after 25 moves when Gelfand was under time pressure as only 12 minutes were remaining on his clock.

So tomorrow will be the last game and Anand is playing with white ... Interesting to see if Anand go all out with white or prefer the rapid playoffs.
