World Championship: 9th game drawn
Update: video added.
He came very close to winning today, but in the end Vladimir Kramnik had to accept that his ending agains Viswanathan Anand was a draw. After the 9th game the Indian is now leading the World Championship match 6-3, and just needs a draw to retain his title.
While many expected a not too interesting game today (Anand was supposed to play ultra solid and cruise to match victory by drawing twice, and Kramnik would have no energy left to put up serious resistance) it was completely the other way around: Kramnik invited Anand to a sharp fight in the Semi-Slav, and the Indian went for it by retreating his bishop to h4 after Black's h6, allowing the complicated lines of the Anti-Moscow Gambit.
At first it looked like Anand took his opponent by surprise yet again, by going for a rare side-variation, but this time Kramnik had done his homework and soon obtained a small advantage. His position got better and better, and at some point the world champion decided to sacrifice a pawn, but still there was one moment where Kramnik could have reached an almost winning position.
But in timetrouble the Russian almost missed a mate in one and was so shocked by it that he decided to exchange queens and in the resulting ending it was not too difficult for Anand to avoid the last few traps Kramnik put up.
And so chances are high that tomorrow will be the last match day in Bonn, although Kramnik stated that he will ?¢'Ǩ?ìfight till the last draw.?¢'Ǩ?
Here's the 9th match game:

(Note that the comments below this article started during our live coverage of the game)
why kramnik not moved Rc2 after anand king moved to g2? he could have won the match
It is still unclear Bb5 leads to a rook ending which slightly favours black
but very slightly only so probably a draw after a fight will be the result
To Youssef, Bb5 would give Kramnik some counter playm for instance:
45.Bb5 Rgxg3+ 46.Kf2 Rcf3+ 47.Ke1 e5
yeah! A draw. Once again anand proves that he s completely outprepared and outplayed Kramnik. In this game, with precise defence, he denies kramnik the much sought salvage win. Go Vishy go!!!
Phew,Good Defence by Anand,good play over all by both players
Exciting game. Kramnik missed an almost certain win with 35. ... Lc7!! White cannot defend b3, his position then is hopeless.
I thought that with a pawn up until late in the game (game 9), Kramnik had a chance to force a win. Now all that Anand needs is half a point from the last three games. And Anand can play for a draw and kramnik had to play to win all three games and then play to win one more game. Very tough indeed for kramnik.
I agree, Willem. 35. ..Bc7! would have been very problematic for Anand, close to winning. So Anand seem to had a narrow escape.
Next game Kramnik turns into vampire. Anand watch carefully, just play for a draw and be wary of big bite. We need more police in Germany to keep security, Anand just needs keep cool maybe offer draw after 2nd move.
Also, maybe Leko will come and play game tomorrow. then Anand prepares sicilian for leko. Very interesting big game for tomorrow.
offering a draw on the second move is A) obviously going to get declined and B) HORRIBLY RUDE. This isn't a tournament it is a match. Anand has style and character and would never sink so low as to insult his opponent like this.
And yes ... tomorrow is the match finished! Anand winner.
I heard anecdotes about Spassky doing that in the first move in some games.
After 35. ... Lxc7 white's position is not hopeless as I said before, but just very difficult. For example: 36. Db5 (36. Lc4 Txg3! -+) De3 37. Kg2
(37. b4 Lxg3 38. hxg3 Dxg3 39. Td2 Tg8 40. bxa5 Dh3+ 41. Txh2 Txd3 42. De5 + Kh7 43. Dc7+ Tg7 44. Txh3 Txh3+ 45. Dh2 Txh2+ 46. Kxh2 Ta7 47. Ta1 Ta6 -+; 37. Dd7 Tg8 -+)
37. ... Dg5
(Also interesting is 37. ...Tg8!? 38. Tf3 (38. Tfe1 Txg8! 39. hxg3 Dxg3 40. Kf1 Dh3+ is winning for black) Dd4 with good chances for black)
38. Tf3 Df6 and black can quite safely play for a win.
My last comment:
After 35. ... Lc7! 36. Db5 De3 37. Kg2 I now think that black's best line is 37... Tg8! 38. Tf3 (38. Tfe1 Txg3+! 39. hxg3 Dxg3+ 40. Kf1 Df3+ 41. Kg1 Tc6! -+) Dd4 and white must defend very carefully.
Chessvibes-----can you please upload the video of the press conference for Rd9
i expect a draw in the next game, in spite of the possible chances taken by kramnik.
Hi all. After 2005 (after great Kasparov) chess world didnt saw a real worldchampion. These are strong player but any one dont have a world champion character. World need a person like Garry Kasparov. Im hopping Kasparov come back or Carlsen grow up. These all fearing to play 1.e4!
WHY? I enjoyed Kasparov simuls last night. After Ilyumzhinov's scandals world missed GREAT GARRY KASPAROV!! :(
Sorry Rahim, but Anand is a World Champion if there ever was one. Garry Kasparov has retired, deal with it.
Garry probably did so much to hurt the game with his defection and the chess world is still suffering from it. Then he abandoned the unification process and retired leaving the chess world in a mess. We have moved on from his escapades.
What did Chessvibes mean in their commentary of this game , "...in time trouble Kramnik almost missed mate in one" ??
Mate in One? Where?
Kramnik said that he almost played f4 instead of Qc7 not realizing that Qh7 would be mate.
I think Leko vs. Anand tomorrow. Or maybe Radjabov vs. Anand .. Kramnik allowed to substitute players? If so I think Anand uses Ivanchuk or Morozevich to finish match. So, possibly we have Radjabov vs. Morozevich tomorrow - will be very interesting, probably sicilian.
Translations from English into other languages are of some use although they leave much to be desired to put it mildly. To the extent that sometimes opposite meaning is given to a person's statement
To willem i will analyse your suggestions in details ...can you please confirm that Anand was winning in the 8th game if he plays 32.bxa5 instead of 32.b5??
for instance (as commented by Ole and Katata) we get 32.bxa5 bxa5 33.Rb1 Nc5 34.Bxc5 Rxc5.
What is the outcome of this endgame???
To Rahim,
objectively speasking the departure of Kasparov is good for chess. Look now at the chess events all over the world: FIDE grand prix (3 times a year !!!!), FIDE knock out, Kamsky-Topa semi final, .... the chess activity become very very tense. When Kasparov was playing every body has the idea that a tournement without him is not interesting, and this was a damage for chess; it is very difficult to convince sponsors.
I am a fan of Kasparov but chess is more improtant than him. Thanks to his departure a reunificatiom match took place. Kasparov agreed later that the PCA is a big error.
If you want aggressive chess, you can follow the games of Carlsen, Topalov, Moro and Polgar. Their style is almost more aggresive than Kaparov one.
And here are for me today is finished, Anand will take the title. In any case they will share 1.5 million is not bad (;)) I hope that Anand will have no mercy now face Kramnik, both end as soon as possible.
After 20. ... gxf4 21. Lf3 Lxf3 22. gxf3 Dxe5 is almost forced with a fine position for black.
BTW I expected that Kramnik's french wife would be at his side in this difficult time,
but it I haven't seen her around him in any picture or report.
Rybka3 and chessmaster10 both saying black has 0.57 advantage and anand ahs used up a lot of time but anand is making some unsual interesting moves
Dennis Monokroussos on his live commentary blog just said that he overheard two GMs say live that there are rumors that should Kramnik lose this match, he might retire from chess.
Not that I believe that he will.
seems anand did k hi also in preparation for taking on d4 i was looking at g file and the black queen standing for the black king..
a very complicated position i expect anand to strive for a clear endgame in which he is sure of a draw
Kramnik usually avoids complications however he can handle them very well
a vrery interesting game with a lot of analysis still to be done
The follwoing line is forced:
20. ... gxf4 21.Bf3 Bxf3 22.Rxf3 Qxe5 23.a3 (23.Nd4? Rd8) Bc5 24.Rdf1
i think kramnik has set his mind that draw n loss of game is of no use for him
so better to play for win.......but from his current performance it's the toughest job for him........all the best 2 both the GIANTS.
@Popuscu , I understand that you are a Topolov fan.
But bashing every game Kramnin plays makes you lose your credibilty and leads to flamebait.
There are other who are just following the game with useful analysis from others.
If you have nothing to contribute , just read or see 2005 WCC reruns :)
A while ago in the Netherlands I spoke to Kramnik,when he signed a digital clock for me. I told him he would lose against Anand,in the same way he won 5 games against kaspy.
both engines suggesting Rac8 with a clear advantage for black
I can't see any chances for white unless Kramnik blunders.
Good preparation by Kramnik , lets see if Anand can save this one.
Anand is trying to be defensive naturally, he does not need to take risks, it is Kramnik's obligation to take risk to win at whatever cost.
To John,
Kramnik retirement will be a good contribution to Chess.
It is amazing to see Kramnik take so much time to play his 20th move, the obvious choice is g5Xf4
I disagree with Sivas comment -- this is a deep game -- I think the engines are not seeing this right and both Kramnik and Anand are playing based on deep preparation. I fail to see how black can be ahead after white gets in bf3
to robinson, you mean Rb4 ???? this does not work, because the pin will be evaporated : for instance:
41. ... Rb4? 42.Rc8+! Kg7 43.Bxe6 Rxc8 44.Bxc8 1-0

The Tomball City Council had another round with a proposed fencing ordinance, before finally approving the measure Feb. 4. Members also looked at the possibility of regulating the large donation boxes located around town, as well as approved waving impact fees for new businesses locating downtown.
Council started the meeting by revisiting the long debated fencing ordinance.
Councilman Derek Townsend's wife Lisa sent an email, which city secretary Doris Speer read.
"I oppose such laws where government regulations limit our decision making ability or puts undue stress on property owners and taxpayers," she wrote. "I hope there are elected officials which support the rights of homeowners and taxpayers."
Derek Townsend then suggested tabling the ordinance to allow for more discussion on what will be permissible. Other council members did not support Townsend and ultimately passed the new fencing ordinance. Townsend was the lone dissenting vote, while Councilman Mark Stoll wasn't present.
The discussion then turned to the charitable donation boxes located around town.
Assistant City Manager Christal Kliewer Weber told the council that most of the boxes are owned by private businesses, which then donate a portion of the proceeds to the charity named on the box. That drew the ire of Councilman Rick Brown, as he suggested charging a fee for those boxes. He had concerns that Goodwill maintains and pay rent at a storefront in the city, while the owners of the boxes do not.
"It seems like they need some kind of fee," Brown said. "Now the questions for staff is, what kind of burden does that put on staff?"
"There are only 16 (boxes) now," Weber said. "We can limit them, depending on what council wants to do."
Councilman Preston Dodson agreed that the boxes need to be regulated.
"I don't see a need for them to pay the city, but I do see a need for them to be well maintained," he said.
Townsend suggested the possibility of placing all donation boxes in a central location.
"Do we have a piece of property that we can set these on and say this is the donation area?" he asked.
Weber replied that some cities do.
Weber will take the council's suggestions and questions and city staffers will come up with a proposed ordinance in the future.
The council then voted unanimously to waive impact fees for new businesses in the downtown area for the next two years, as a way to lure new businesses to the area.
Rodney Hudson, a downtown property owner, thanked the council for the proposal.
"Waving these impact fees will make a difference and I think it's a positive move forward," he said.
Councilman Field Hudgens said he didn't think the move would have a big impact in the end, but still voted to approve the measure.
"I voted against this last time considering I don't think it will have such an impact in the way you guys really think it will," he said.
