Vishwanathan Anand has to settle for a draw in Round 7 of FIDE World Chess Championship yesterday at Chennai.
With only five more games left in the 12-game match, Carlsen retains his two point lead, 4.5-2.5 in favour of the Norwegian. It looks as though Magnus Carlsen is destined to be crowned World Champion at Chennai. This photo from the news conference sums it up best.
Video simulation and link to the updated PGN file are below.
After 15th move, it was like a blitz game and soon (starting with 20th move) both the Rooks were off the board, with only the Queen and Knight each left. Thus it meandered off to a limp endgame with no chances for either side.
Anand changed a couple of more pawns and the draw was agreed to in just 32 moves vide repetition.
In the remaining 5 games Carlsen will get to play thrice with White, which makes it even more difficult for Anand.
