Viswanathan Anand retains world title
Update: video added.
Viswanathan Anand has retained his world title by drawing Vladimir Kramnik in the 11th game of the World Championship match in Bonn, Germany. The final match score is 6?Ǭ?-4?Ǭ? for Anand.
It was a task he had never managed to do before: beating Viswanathan Anand with the black pieces. And after his opponent switched to his long-life weapon 1.e4, Vladimir Kramnik couldn't do it today either. At the press conference the Russian said it was a "difficult day" for him: "It was not easy to prepare for e4 and d4, trying to find forced wins for Black against all these moves."
He was reasonably satisfied with reaching the Najdorf, because "at least we had a game - it was not easy to just get a game". But he managed, although then Kramnik soon had to work on his own, because a few moves after Anand's 6.Bg5 he was out of theory - he actually found 9...Qc5 behind the board.
Black's seemingly anti-positional 12...exf5 was his only chance, Kramnik said, because "otherwise White simply gets very easy play"; he mentioned the standard moves Kb1 and g3 + Bh3, pressing on e6. "So I decided to mess things up." However, Anand reacted very well, calculated very well, and forced a liquidation to an ending that White simply cannot lose. "Miracles happen, but very rare, unfortunately," Kramnik finished his statement about the game.
After the game Anand said he was "happy, but at this point probably more relieved than happy. Obviously it's really nice to just have the title. Vlady was really pushing me in the last few games. With White I was really hoping to have the world championship title in the evening but I wasn't sure, you never know."
With this official and undisputed World Championship, Anand has won every big event that has been organized during his career. In fact, he's the first player to have won a world championship in three different formats. In the year 2000 Anand won the FIDE World Chess Championship which was a knockout event, in 2007 he won the World Chess Championship which was a tournament of six players, and now he has won a World Championship match. If he didn't yet belong to the list of great names starting with Steinitz, Lasker and Capablanca, he now sure does - nobody can deny it anymore. After all, today Anand has beaten the man who beat Kasparov.
Thanks to his 11 games in Bonn, Anand is also the new world's number one on the live rating list (for the top ten see the column on the far right) - he shares a virtual rating of 2791 with Topalov but tops the list because of actually having played games in this period.
Today Anand, who will turn 39 on December 11, won the most important prize of his career. It all started in 1983 when he won the National Sub-Junior Chess Championship with a score of 9/9. He subsequently became the youngest Indian to win the IM title at the age of fifteen, in 1984. One year later he became champion of India and in 1987 he became the first Indian to win the World Junior Chess Championship. In 1988, at the age of eighteen, he became India's first Grandmaster.
Ever since he won the super tournament of Reggio Emilia in 1991, ahead of Kasparov and Karpov, Anand has been among the world's elite. Among his colleagues he became known as the fastest player in the circuit and this was confirmed by him winning the unofficial world championship of rapid chess many times.
In the year 2000 Anand won the FIDE World Chess Championship in Tehran after defeating Alexei Shirov in the final. In the same year Garry Kasparov lost his world title to Vladimir Kramnik in London.
In 2002 Ruslan Ponomariov took over the title of FIDE World Champion and in 1995 Anand finished shared second with Peter Svidler at the San Luis World Championship tournament, behind Veselin Topalov. One year later Topalov lost his title against Kramnik, in a match that decided the first undisputed World Championship since 1993.
In September 2007 Anand became World Champion again by winning the FIDE World Championship Tournament held in Mexico City. He finished on 9 / 14 which was a full point ahead of Vladimir Kramnik and Boris Gelfand. Kramnik had agreed to participate in this tournament after FIDE had given him the right, if he wouldn't finish first, to automatically challenge the new World Champion.
This eventually resulted in the Anand-Kramnik match held in Bonn 14-29 October, that was dominated by the Indian from the start. After two reasonably quiet games he won twice with Black in games 3 and 5, and then scored another full point in game 6. In the final phase of the match Anand lost his concentration in a few games and even lost game 10, but by easily drawing the 11th game, he reached the unbeatable 6.5 points.
It was Anand's strategy with the Black pieces that decided the match. It's possible that the Indian didn't expect to achieve too much with the White pieces against one of the most solid players in the circuit, and therefore decided to focus the attention on Black. His choice of the sharp Meran positions was a brilliant one and with it he delivered the first major blow in game three. Again under pressure, Kramnik blundered in game 5 and this second blow led to the Russian playing his weakest game, number six, where he lost an ending that he would have drawn in most other situations.
Being 3 points down in a 12-game match is another way of saying: it's just hopeless. But it can only be admired how Kramnik managed to fight back in subsequent games - he finally started to feel confident, finally started to come up with theoretical novelties and simply... finally started to play on his normal level. But it was too late - Anand's narrow escape in game 9 earned him a valuable half point and then for Kramnik it was clearly a mission impossible to score 3 out of 3 against this kind of player.
Anand's victory was based on a combination of excellent preparation and playing almost flawlessly. A deserved champion who has deservedly entered the famous list of World Championship match winners.
Here's the 11th and final game of the match, in which I included some notes by co-editor IM Merijn van Delft as well:

(Note that the comments below this article started during our live coverage of the game)
ND2 is most apporpiate!@ this jucture!! Correct me please !
Very interestingly, Anand is now 17 minutes behind on the clock.
12...exf5 seems to be a novelty compared to Cullip-Le Quang, Oakham 1992. It looks a bit dangerous but hey, that doesn't matter for Kramnik of course. White should also be careful - what a great game already!
the prise on f5 is in favor of Black:
13.exf5?! Bxf5
if Anand does not capture on f5, does the closure of the center by kramnil (f5-f6) in his favor.??
It is hard to find a plan here ... the tactics are very present
Computer has a British sense of humour... :)
"12... exf5 Novelty of doubtful advantage" at ChessOK-s live computer annotations
12...exf5?! quit a shocking move! I very much like the solid 13.Kb1! indeed, with comfortable longterm compensation. But Anand's truly amazing 13.De3!? may even be stronger. I put my money on Anand ;-)
Black might as well consider playing 13...fxe4 since he already played exf5.
it is not fair to cut and paste the commentary of Susan Polgar here.
@ DoctorSpock
Hey, why are you copy-pasting Susan Polgar's comments at
Just curious, no offense.
Thanks for copying from Susan's blog! I expected some position clearer ;-)
to ali, 13.Nd5 has a refutation:
13.Nd5 fxe4
possible continuation can be exf5 Bxf5 ...Kb1 Be7 ....Qf3 ...can anybody suggest a diff .idea..
the prise on f5 is in favor of Black:
13.exf5?! Bxf5
if Anand does not capture on f5, does the closure of the center by kramnil (f5-f4) in his favor.??
It is hard to find a plan here ... the tactics are very present
If 13.Re1 Bh6+ 14.Kb1 Be6 and the position is unclear.
13.Qe3 I personally did not expect this move. In addition to clearing the diagonal for this Bishop, the square b6 will be something White would have an eye on.
Fritz is positive about 13. De3. It makes for instance Td5 possible (unless 13. ... Le6). On the other hand its now easier for black to play ...h5 and ... Lh6.
Probably Anand played Qe3 because there is a high chance of draw with forced exchange of pieces
I agree with Merijn, this is definitely a brave attempt by Kramnik, but perhaps a bit too brave against such a player as Anand.
can anybody explain why I'm feeling Qe3 is a good move...b6 & d6 are Black's weaknesses...
is 14. ?¢'Ǩ¬¶h5 interesing with the threat of Bh6 ???
15. Qb6 !?
There is a possibility , quick exchnage of pieces would lead to a draw ,but i doubt if Kramik plays that line(fxe4 Rd5, Qe6 Nxe4 f5, Nxd6+ Bxd6 , Qxe6 with score 0.00
Lots of tactics -- black cannot castle q-side yet -qb6,nd5,bxa6etc; so how does Kramnik stop a white central breakthrough? He has to try and exchange queens
Qe3!? The game is becoming very sharp. I predict they will get into time pressure.
is 14. ...h5 interesing with the threat of Bh6 ???
@ Dr.Spock,
Why shamelessly copying and pasting not only fro Susan's but also from this site!! Go and take star hike!
to Ali,
nice variation Nd5 Fe4 Qe4 Qe4 Nf6 + .
and then Nxe4 Kc7 :
Kramnik knight would be go to e5 (strong) + he has weak structure of pwans + the pair of bishops... a very complicated position .. it is very dynamic ...
I feel h5 (popuscu) is too dangerous --after Kb1 black is stuck -- bh6 is a waste of time with Kb1 and makes Qb6 really dangerous -- I agree with doctorspock that Black has to logically play fxe4 and hope for the best
to DoctorSpock,
I considred 5. Qb6 !?. This move would paralyse Kramnik pieces..
"Black is not so comfortable as Polgar suggests: White tends to have the safer king and white square pressure, which adds up to the famous +="
What exactly does that "+=" mean? Sorry if this is a really dumb question. Does it mean, like in C programming, "greater than or equal to" or something else?
I think the idea of Qe3 is to threaten Rd5 or Nd5, and maybe Bc4. All of which can be prevented by Be6, except this allows the dangerous-looking Qb6.
Yes, I agree. I didn't get it, but it seems as if black doesn't go into exchanges, it is simply bad for him, but if he does go into exchanges, the draw is more probable...
Rybka thinks:
13... fxe4 14. Rd5 Qe6 15. Nd4 Nxd4 16. Qxd4 Bg7 17. Rxd6 Qe7 18. Qxe4 Qxe4 19. Nxe4
with +0.13
PS. += ('plus equals') means white is 'slightly better'. (=+ means black is slightly better and so on: +/- is a clear advantage, +- a winning one, = an equal position (although not necessarily drawn.) The infinity sign means 'unclear' but has somewhat gone out of use in this computerized age.)
Kramnik is taking his time.
Understandingly so. He has a tough decision to make. What should he play? Take on e4? Bd7, Be6, Ng7, or h5? The dynamics of the game will change quite a bit with these choices.
kramnik is winning, 13h5 with plan Bh6 or13f4 with plan f5 and Rg8, this time kramnik will usee g file. no castling
Rybka says fxe4 is the best option for black which would lead to a draw , all other moves give good advantage to white. Kramnik has a lot think , luckily i am karthik not kramnik
One simple line is fxe4 bc4be3 bxe3 fxe3 nxe4 where white has enough for the pawn because blacks king position is so compromised. Anyway, I predict fxe4 followed by a development of the f1 bishop the next move -- fxe4 rd5 is also fine but less exciting for white
This game is too complicated, and it the positional advantages for both players are almost NIL. with 1 percentage point for BLACK.
This is headed for a draw, unless Time Pressure >> Blunder by either!
Polgar Blog is mediocre. & Sounds too political.
I think Kramnik is planning for attack on King, with lot of risks, after clearing the central pawns ...
Anand seems to have good advantage with Nd2, Again Bg7 was commpletely unexpected may be Kramnik dares to castle kingside
@Ravi B
Yeah, it is mediocore, to say the least. And as someone mentioned somewhere "hideously self-adoring". Couldn't have said it any better.

& that is what many teams around the NBA are prob. waiting for... why give up alot of talent for a guy who could be amnestied in the summer... Chi said today that they wont amnesty boozer but i think thats just a smoke screen, there trying to move him & if they said anything else theyd def not get any offers
Good take on the Bargnani/Boozer rumor from Tim Chisholm @ TSN...
Link: http://www.tsn.ca/nba/story/?id=415515
I think it's a very unique situation though. I don't think you can get a player of Boozer's caliber for Bargnani unless that team is desperately trying to make a cost cutting move. Not unlike the Gay trade, except that Jose was an expiring contract and Ed was an intriguing young prospect. Andrea Bargnani is neither. As flawed (not to mention douche-y) as Boozer is, he's been consistent throughout his career and there just aren't a lot of guys out there like that who are available.
your pal,
That's what I think too. If the Bulls offer us Boozer for Bargnani, I don't see why the hell in the world we should not accept it. Boozer can score and rebound, he's been an all star, he's been on winning teams and it's not like he was not playing good right now. And he just turned 31. We should accept this trade. I don't see what we could get better than Boozer. I know he got a huge contract... So what? What are we going to get anyway via free agency? Josh Smith? Al Jefferson? Yeah, you can dream folks. Also, Lowry won't ask for 20M$ a year when comes the time to re-sign him.
Not only this trade would help the team, but it would finally officially end an era (Bosh, Calderon and Bargnani) and start a fresh, positive one.
I understand that, but for me there are a couple issues with this proposed deal that I'm not satisfied with. First, I've always felt that Boozer was overrated. Second, he's way older than Bargnani, he's paid way more money and I really don't think he's much better. Third, Chicago is more interested about saving money this season (as opposed to long-term savings, like Memphis), so not only does Toronto take on a bigger long-term financial burden, but it seems like Chicago isn't willing to let us match upfront salary, which will put an even bigger financial noose around the Raptors neck.
As I said in an earlier post, if the Raps were able to dump Kleiza's salary and get a 1st round pick, that would be enough sweetener for me to consider it. However, the proposed trade of Bargnani/Lucas for Boozer/Robinson isn't worth it for me. I'd rather just keep Bargnani into the offseason and amnesty Kleiza.
Personally for me Boozer would be a 10 to Bargnani's 3. Not that he's a 10/10 player.. I'm just using the 10 for ratio sakes.
But I do understand if you see him as not a huge upgrade then yes it's a bad deal. Financially this is a bad trade for Toronto. I just think the talent coming in.. perhaps talent is a poor choice of words because Bargnani is very talented but just sucks in areas you want him to be good at. So I'd say in terms of non-$ value to the team, I think Boozer is waaaaaay better. And I think that outweighs the money factor.
The other part is this. The Lowry trade, and the Gay trade signal a window in which we need to succeed. And as the team stands now, it will not. So another deal needs to be done here and the opportunity to do so will dwindle. Things happen, kind of like Gasol getting hurt, Bargnani could get hurt again. Things which are out of our control.
your pal,
I'm not big on Boozer but if we take on his salary we should be able to take back a player of value as well. Above is a trade that would make us competitive today but also pick up a player for the future.
Why Wolves do it:
With a capable change of pace point guard in Barea capable of spelling Rubio they don't need to pay 4 million to Ridnour as they will need space to resign Pek. Amundson is unhappy with his current role and lack of PT. They get Anderson to help with 3 point shooting and can fill the void of Roy for remainder of season. Gray is just a big body on a reasonable deal to back up Pek.
Why Bulls do it:
Get out of Boozers gigantic contract. They add a big who can spread the floor for Rose when he's back and they already have great rebounding players in Noah, Gibson and Deng to compensate for Dre. Losing Butler hurts but it's the price for unloading that big of a deal. Fields can back up both wing positions.
Why Raptors do it:
Land much need post presence and upgrade at 4 position, add much needed capable back up PG, young defensive minded wing and an energy big better then Acy.
Center position is left weak but not as if it was a position of strength currently constructed. Amnesty Kleiza in the summer and look to sign a veteran center like Dalembert (best case scenario), Joel Anthony, Kurt Thomas or Collins.
I don't have access to a computer and refuse to use the trade machine with my iPhone, but someone work out a trade where Chicago gets Bargs and Demar while we get Boozer, Butler and a pick.
With regards to the first bolded part, I suppose we'll never agree. I do agree that the Raps probably need a traditional starting PF, who relies more on post-ups and banging down low. However, I just don't like Boozer, despite the fact that he fits the desired style of play.
As for the second part, I would argue that your point is more reason NOT to trade for Boozer. Gay and Lowry are both 26, meaning they will have a good 5-7 years in their prime, to grow with the team's young core. Boozer is 31, giving the team a much shorter window of opportunity to 'win now', with no chance he's part of the team's long-term core (I feel the same way about Gasol).
BOO heinz57!
your pal,
You were one of the fans that didint like Rudy gay either. Apparently "his contract was to high". Boozer would be awesome for us!
I can stand people complaining about the contract price. if Rogers wants to spend ... let em' spend. I just wqant a solid product on the court. I dont doubt that pau gasol was our first choice but when he went down we had to go to plan B.
A week ago people wanted to trade Bargnani for a bag of chip... now they dont want boozer. Im all for the trade, just as I was for the Gay trade. We know how people around here changed their tune on the last trade after 1 game. I anticipate the fans the dislike the trade will completely flip their stance after a few games. Our fans are pretty clueless, they worry about spending dollars that they dont own. Some of our fans are like the Memphis grizzlies owners.
A bag of chips doesn't cost $16M per season each of the next 2 years.
A bag of chips wouldn't make the Raptors a luxury tax paying team.
A bag of chips wouldn't destroy the already limited financial flexibility of the franchise over the next 2.5 seasons.
A bag of chips allows the Raps to make subsequent roster moves and still have all exceptions availble in the offseason.

"These are super cute. We are using them to stick on little treat bags for our daughter's birthday treats for her preschool class.. We had then printed to read Lily's 2nd Birthday! They are great!"
"I made this as a gift tag that said "Happy Birthday", then had "From my daughter's name" I put our last name initial where the 2 is and left off the date! Now anyone who receives a gift from her wil have a bright and cheerful "FROM" tag! Exceptional quality and detailed graphics! BEAUTIFUL! This product surpassed my expectations!"
"I had my daughter-in-laws name placed on these...... "Mandy's Baby Shower" and the date of the baby shower underneath..... added a very personal touch to the shower gifts for those attending her shower. Loved the design."
"I am so pleased with this gift tag. I changed the name on the blue section to say "a gift for you" and added my kids' names on the red section. Changed the number in the orange circle to their last name initial and wrote " thanks for having us" in the green section at bottom. Can't wait to use them. They're colorful and fun."
"I LOVE this gift tag. Finally, a cute tag that has the "From" format. I have purchased the "Name only" gift tags in the past and I do love those as well, but sometimes people don't realize that the gift tag is indicating that the gift enclosed is from the person's whose name appears on the gift tag (some people think the gift is TO the person on the gift tag). I know this all sounds confusing, but to those of you who can relate I am sure you understand. This is a very cute design and a fun option for a family gift tag!"

Swanstone Corporate Statement
For more than four decades, we have been a quiet leader in the kitchen and bath industry. Our high-quality products have always balanced durability, value and style. Innovation is one of our core values, and we have set a standard with our ability to invent. Now it's time to reinvent.
The Swan Story
For more than 40 years, we've been creating innovative and affordable solid surface products and materials for customers all over the world. It started in 1964, when we introduced the Swan Shell Shower, a doorless, shell-shaped shower that captured the spirit of its time.
The Shell Shower was the first in a long line of original kitchen and bath products from Swan, including the Circle Shower as well as the industry's first non-ceramic tile bathtub wall system.
In 1987, we introduced Swanstone to the world, first with a line of vanity tops and bowls. Swanstone quickly became known for its superior impact strength, heat resistance, and ability to resist scratches and stains. Consumers now had an elegant and durable solid surface material that was also affordable.
Since then, our Swanstone line has expanded to include a wide variety of kitchen sinks, countertops, tub and shower walls, and more. In 1994 we introduced the Swanstone 1/4" sheet program, offering even more flexibility to Swanstone customers. In 1997 we introduced a complete line of Swanstone products for the restaurant industry, including tabletops, countertops, vanity tops, mop service sinks and windowsills.
At Swan, we're committed to a policy of continuous improvement, to providing our customers with the highest quality products and most responsive customer service in the kitchen & bath industry. And we stand behind this commitment with some of the best warranties in the business.
Made in America
The Swan Corporation is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, with manufacturing facilities in Centralia, Illinois.

Plant a Garden for Health in Rwanda
Plant seeds of hope in Rwanda by supporting local organic gardens at the grassroots level!
Good nutrition is not a luxury -- it is a necessity, especially for people whose bodies are under siege from HIV/AIDS. While much progress has been made on anti-retroviral drugs, expensive courses of ARV medications lose their effectiveness when the patients are malnourished. What works is an integrated approach that nourishes people's bodies in tandem with attacking their disease, fostering reduced symptoms and a longer, healthier life.
The nonprofit Gardens for Health represents a sustainable alternative to food aid packages in Rwanda, which can bring immediate results but foster long-term dependency and offer little incentive for self-sufficiency. Gardens for Health aims to improve the health and socioeconomic status of Rwandans living with HIV/AIDS by equipping them with a different kind of package -- local-, community-, and household-level gardens of nutritious fruits and vegetables, plus the tools and training to grow their gardens into moneymaking enterprises that enrich the whole community.
Just $15 funds a home Garden for Health to serve a family of five. A home Garden for Health consists of an avocado tree seedling, a papaya tree seedling, a moringa tree seedling, and vegetable seeds -- carrots, sweet potatoes, beets, amaranth, spinach, and red onions. It also includes four growing sacks -- a type of container garden that allows the growing vegetables to be lifted and transported to a different location. The seed amounts should last through the first year of three growing seasons, and with seed saving, which Gardens for Health teaches, a lot of the seeds can be saved for the future.
This Gift That Gives More™ plants a Garden for Health for a family in Rwanda, giving them the seeds of a more nourishing life.
Established in 2006, Gardens for Health was founded on the belief that a comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment plan requires access to adequate, nutritious food. Gardens for Health supports Rwandans living with HIV/AIDS to establish cooperative gardens and other agricultural initiatives throughout the country.

Marion County Jail
4000 Aumsville Hwy. SE, Salem, OR 97317
The Marion County Jail (MCJ) is a massive, 151,000 square foot structure currently housing 400 inmates. Originally built in 1989 with a capacity of 255 inmates, the facility has expanded over the years to better handle the ever increasing inmate load. In 1998, the facility underwent an expansion of 128 beds. The design of the facility allows for ever-increasing expansion and could accommodate nearly 1,000 inmates without compromising the infrastructure or support services of the institution.
The facility is a "direct supervision" jail wherein deputies are assigned inside the inmate housing units. This management philosophy allows deputies to be proactive in the day to day operations of the jail. As a result, inmates are directly supervised while in custody and problems can be identified and immediately handled. Marion County is one of approximately 200 jails nationwide to employ this type of management style and it has proven to be extremely effective.
MCJ books approximately 19,000 people per year. In addition to those being booked, the facility houses inmates awaiting trial, inmates sentenced for one year or less, inmates being held for federal authorities and inmates sentenced to a state correctional facility/penitentiary. The facility also operates as a hub for prisoner exchange. Other jails throughout the state bring prisoners to Marion County to be transported/transferred to other facilities throughout the state and neighboring states. This system keeps transportation costs down and is reflected in a direct savings to the county budget.
The facility operates the most intensive civilian volunteer program in the state. More than 112 citizen volunteers provide a complete array of services at little or no cost to taxpayers that are designed to assist inmates with problems or reintroduce them back into society. The facility has daily, ongoing religious programs as well as classes on A/A, Drug & Alcohol Programs and a GED Program. It is our vision that offenders will be returned to society as law abiding and contributing citizens.
Part of the direct supervision management philosophy is based on positive inmate behavior that allows certain inmates expanded (limited) privileges based on behavior. Examples of privileges include, inmate commissary, less restrictive living environments, greater out of cell time and/or being allowed to participate in programs and work projects. Programs including AA, Prison Fellowship and many church-affiliated programs are only a few of the many programs inmates may be involved in. Inmate work programs within the facility are designed to reduce costs associated with operating the facility. Inmates work in the kitchen, laundry and perform janitorial services throughout the facility to keep overall costs to a minimum.

Rick McGrath [Film Festival 10.20.08] zombies news
They lurched, they staggered, and they tottered along a three-mile route in downtown Toronto today as the city's third annual Zombie Walk drew over 1,000 bloodied and rotting participants.
The ZW began around noon, with re-animates from across the city meeting at a downtown park to beg for brains, listen to parade instructions, meet fellow undead and beg for brains. Did I already say that?
After a lot of lurching, laugher, and posing for the army of photogs, the assembled reliving lurched their way along two major city streets to their final destination, the TAD filmfest and its Sunday evening Canadian Premiere showing of Kevin Tenney's Brain Dead.
Early reports suggest not one brain was eaten. Repeat: early. Check after the break for stills!

Cash surplus or deficit is revenue (including grants) minus expense, minus net acquisition of nonfinancial assets. In the 1986 GFS manual nonfinancial assets were included under revenue and expenditure in gross terms. This cash surplus or deficit is closest to the earlier overall budget balance (still missing is lending minus repayments, which are now a financing item under net acquisition of financial assets). |

Viswanathan Anand retains world title
Update: video added.
Viswanathan Anand has retained his world title by drawing Vladimir Kramnik in the 11th game of the World Championship match in Bonn, Germany. The final match score is 6?Ǭ?-4?Ǭ? for Anand.
It was a task he had never managed to do before: beating Viswanathan Anand with the black pieces. And after his opponent switched to his long-life weapon 1.e4, Vladimir Kramnik couldn't do it today either. At the press conference the Russian said it was a "difficult day" for him: "It was not easy to prepare for e4 and d4, trying to find forced wins for Black against all these moves."
He was reasonably satisfied with reaching the Najdorf, because "at least we had a game - it was not easy to just get a game". But he managed, although then Kramnik soon had to work on his own, because a few moves after Anand's 6.Bg5 he was out of theory - he actually found 9...Qc5 behind the board.
Black's seemingly anti-positional 12...exf5 was his only chance, Kramnik said, because "otherwise White simply gets very easy play"; he mentioned the standard moves Kb1 and g3 + Bh3, pressing on e6. "So I decided to mess things up." However, Anand reacted very well, calculated very well, and forced a liquidation to an ending that White simply cannot lose. "Miracles happen, but very rare, unfortunately," Kramnik finished his statement about the game.
After the game Anand said he was "happy, but at this point probably more relieved than happy. Obviously it's really nice to just have the title. Vlady was really pushing me in the last few games. With White I was really hoping to have the world championship title in the evening but I wasn't sure, you never know."
With this official and undisputed World Championship, Anand has won every big event that has been organized during his career. In fact, he's the first player to have won a world championship in three different formats. In the year 2000 Anand won the FIDE World Chess Championship which was a knockout event, in 2007 he won the World Chess Championship which was a tournament of six players, and now he has won a World Championship match. If he didn't yet belong to the list of great names starting with Steinitz, Lasker and Capablanca, he now sure does - nobody can deny it anymore. After all, today Anand has beaten the man who beat Kasparov.
Thanks to his 11 games in Bonn, Anand is also the new world's number one on the live rating list (for the top ten see the column on the far right) - he shares a virtual rating of 2791 with Topalov but tops the list because of actually having played games in this period.
Today Anand, who will turn 39 on December 11, won the most important prize of his career. It all started in 1983 when he won the National Sub-Junior Chess Championship with a score of 9/9. He subsequently became the youngest Indian to win the IM title at the age of fifteen, in 1984. One year later he became champion of India and in 1987 he became the first Indian to win the World Junior Chess Championship. In 1988, at the age of eighteen, he became India's first Grandmaster.
Ever since he won the super tournament of Reggio Emilia in 1991, ahead of Kasparov and Karpov, Anand has been among the world's elite. Among his colleagues he became known as the fastest player in the circuit and this was confirmed by him winning the unofficial world championship of rapid chess many times.
In the year 2000 Anand won the FIDE World Chess Championship in Tehran after defeating Alexei Shirov in the final. In the same year Garry Kasparov lost his world title to Vladimir Kramnik in London.
In 2002 Ruslan Ponomariov took over the title of FIDE World Champion and in 1995 Anand finished shared second with Peter Svidler at the San Luis World Championship tournament, behind Veselin Topalov. One year later Topalov lost his title against Kramnik, in a match that decided the first undisputed World Championship since 1993.
In September 2007 Anand became World Champion again by winning the FIDE World Championship Tournament held in Mexico City. He finished on 9 / 14 which was a full point ahead of Vladimir Kramnik and Boris Gelfand. Kramnik had agreed to participate in this tournament after FIDE had given him the right, if he wouldn't finish first, to automatically challenge the new World Champion.
This eventually resulted in the Anand-Kramnik match held in Bonn 14-29 October, that was dominated by the Indian from the start. After two reasonably quiet games he won twice with Black in games 3 and 5, and then scored another full point in game 6. In the final phase of the match Anand lost his concentration in a few games and even lost game 10, but by easily drawing the 11th game, he reached the unbeatable 6.5 points.
It was Anand's strategy with the Black pieces that decided the match. It's possible that the Indian didn't expect to achieve too much with the White pieces against one of the most solid players in the circuit, and therefore decided to focus the attention on Black. His choice of the sharp Meran positions was a brilliant one and with it he delivered the first major blow in game three. Again under pressure, Kramnik blundered in game 5 and this second blow led to the Russian playing his weakest game, number six, where he lost an ending that he would have drawn in most other situations.
Being 3 points down in a 12-game match is another way of saying: it's just hopeless. But it can only be admired how Kramnik managed to fight back in subsequent games - he finally started to feel confident, finally started to come up with theoretical novelties and simply... finally started to play on his normal level. But it was too late - Anand's narrow escape in game 9 earned him a valuable half point and then for Kramnik it was clearly a mission impossible to score 3 out of 3 against this kind of player.
Anand's victory was based on a combination of excellent preparation and playing almost flawlessly. A deserved champion who has deservedly entered the famous list of World Championship match winners.
Here's the 11th and final game of the match, in which I included some notes by co-editor IM Merijn van Delft as well:

To Tyche
I think white bishop will be placed on e2 , coz d3 is likely to be taken by queen also the pawns in the d3 diagonal make the bishop less effective there
to KK,
your pseudo name (KK) recalls me something: Boby Fischer had problems with the "K" players like: Korchnoi, Karpov, Kasparov !!!!
Here another interesting remark by Susan Polgar on her blog:
'8...gxf6 9.f5 White also has many other options such as 9.Qd2, 9.Be2, 9.Qf3, etc... If Anand wins or draw with ease, he will look like a genius for employing 1.e4 to shock his opponent. On the other hand, if he loses in a sharp game, he will be questioned for his decision to play aggressively instead of going for something quiet when he needs only 1/2 point to retain his title. If I am Kramnik, I would be happy to have a chance to score in a sharp opening, especially when a draw is no good for me.'
To M R Ali
Qc5 was also suggested by Rybka;
Kramnik somehow is playing the same moves suggested by Rybka in the last three games including this one
to Ali,
with Qc5 we are still in theory, but in one of the most rare continuations.
Very interesting possibilities ahead , the game is on the razor edge should see how it goes on
10.Qd3 A logical move It clears the way for White to castle Queenside. It also protects the f5 pawn. 10...Bh6 is now a logical move to prevent White from castling.
Kramnik playin Black has a quit negative results with the najdorf sicilian: 1 win, 3 draws and 4 loses ...
I appreciate Anand for playing sharp aggresive lines even at this stage of the match; attack is the best form of defence . He is a true sport
Interesting to note that Anand is already falling back on time.
Qd2 also prevents Qe3 by black if the knight on d4 is moved
There are three GM games with this position in chessbase. Two won by white, one draw.
Kramnik has already made 3 Q moves. Shouldn't white be able to exploit this tempii to gain an edge in development and obtain some initiative?
Polgars assessment:
'In my opinion, Black has already equalized. Black has a good presence in the center and the Bishop pair. White's pieces are not optimally coordinated. I think Black has a comfortable position.'
11. ...Qe5 is a prepared (at home) move. A human would play 11. ..Qa7 preparing b5.
Bringing the qeen in the center shows that Kramnik is well prepared even in this rare variation.
kramnik seems more agressive than anand... hope anand does not blunder at any stage...
To tyche
similarly white has made three moves by g1 knight , so its equal
To Sander
Good info dude
to DoctorSpock,
do you mean Polgar who beaten Korchnoi in this blitz game :
White looks to be in advantage , as the pawns in the centre covering the black king looks very volatile.
Do you mean that there are 3 games with black playing 11. ... Qe5 ?
To Popuscu:
Fantastic film! Unsportif Kortsnoi. He would lose may more times from het, after this event.
But this is Sopia. I quoted her older sister Susan, who lives in the USA and has a fantastic chess school called SPICE.
To Popuscu.. Boby?Fischer may have had problems with Korchnoi but not with Karpov or Kasparov cause he didn't play them...but of course your remark was ironically intended...
At this moment (12.0-0-0) only the reply 12. ..Bd7 has been played on high level. But I wouldn't be surprised if Kramnik goes for something new.
Popuscu, where did you find so fast Kramniks results in the Najdorf?
At club level, I would much rather be white than black -- if black pushes Q-side pawns the King is stuck in the middle -- castling king side is out for black -- white has a simple plan of Qf3, Bd3 g4 etc;
12.O-O-O White basically offers the f5 pawn sacrifice. The compensation for White is to be able to break up black's center pawn chain while opening up the critical e file. I would not take it. I prefer either 12...Bd7, 12....Rg8, or even 12...b5 better.
Kramnik just played exf5. Doesn't this weaken d5 terribly and allow ,for example, Nd5, and not to mention, opening of the e-file?
Take a look at Kramnik's pawn stucture(if any) , king's akward position in the middle and the undeveloped pieces . Its advantage white
Black is not so comfortable as Polgar suggests: White tends to have the safer king and white square pressure, which adds up to the famous +=
'12...exf5 A very brave Kramnik! Bravo! Whatever happens, no one can say that Kramnik backs off from a tough fight. This is not a blunder. It is a playable move, just dangerous.'
to Robert,
KK is my friend in this Forum and I have no bad intentions.
whoa, Kramnik took it! Rybka is on +0.31, but I heard she has problems understanding the Najdorf... am I correct?
Black's bishops looked cramped...exf5 is the best bet to free them...
exf5.... tough decision by Kramnik! hope anand finds a good attack point!
to DoctorSpock ,
they are available here
@Ali -- I think it is Kramnik being aggressive -- he is trying to win his style -- take a pawn and let Anand attack -- absorb the attack and win the ending -- I think this is an exciting game with a position that suits Anand in the middle game
How about exf Bxf5 Qe2, exchanging queens and white has the better ending? I don't get it, what do you guys say?
here i see 2 weaknesses in blacks camp IQP and double pawn in f file
