Chess news: Kramnik holds Anand to second draw in chess -- World chess champion Viswanathan Anand of India started the second game of his championship match against Russian challenger Vladimir Kramnik with a definite advantage Wednesday, but had to settle for a draw. Still, it was a much more exciting chess game than the unspectacular opener to the match on Tuesday, which also ended in an draw.

On the first day of rest, there is one after every two games, it is too early to read much into the on-board occurring or the direction in which this chess match seems to be heading. A draw is a fair result for both as long as the match-score is level. So far it is. But once first blood is drawn, there will be a sense of urgency that will lead to exciting chess battles, featuring some verbal bombs as well. If it were a 12-round boxing bout, Anand should have been marginally ahead on points at this stage. He looked at ease ... Barden on chess -- India's Vishy Anand and his Russian challenger Vlad Kramnik meet this afternoon in Bonn in game four of their 12-game, €1.5m world title chess match. The eagerly awaited showdown has lost some of its gloss due to Kramnik's mediocre results at Dortmund and Moscow and Anand's recent disastrous last place in Bilbao. In consequence they are currently Nos 5 and 6 in the world chess rankings. I can not recall a previous world title match (except for Fide's knock-outs) where neither chess player was in the top two. Basically the result is too close to call and could be effectively decided if in one game either side can unleash a computer-prepared chess opening bomb. Expert opinion is ... | |
