Anand Won

Anand won. Congrates to him. For defending the title against russian V Kramnik. Anand was in need of just half point to attain the life time mission. Notably, Kramnik had a spectacular win in just 29 moves over Anand in the last game. However, as he started the last game with e4 the result was pretty known what's gonna happen. When Anand played e4 with white was very difficult for the russian to defeat him when he had not won any match in the last 2 years playing with black. He is the 2nd non-russian world champion after Bobby Fischer. Fischer was a mad genius of the chess. He doesn't follow much of opening theory like Kasparov.

I thoughroughly enjoyed Anand-Kramnik games watching live on chesscube.com Things I learnt is even grandmasters also take upto 30 mins to play a single move, sometimes. Lol.
