After two games, the score in the Anand-Topalov world championship match is even. Bulgarian Topalov won the first, but Anand struck back in the second. As is often the case, the moves off the board play a role too. Anand's flight to Sofia was cancelled due to the ash cloud, so he was forced to make a 40-hour car journey from Frankfurt. He asked for the first game to be postponed by three days, but the organising committee – which includes Topalov's manager and Bulgaria's PM – rejected the request.

The game was barely out of the opening stages when Anand erred in a dynamically balanced position. Facing checkmate, he resigned after only 30 moves. It was a startlingly quick and unexpected beginning to a match that many experts have said is too close to call. Anand, who has been world chess champion since 2007, is ranked No. 4 in the world, but has been ranked No. 1. His ranking has slipped recently as he prepared to defend his title. Topalov is ranked No. 2 and was ... |
