Anand retains World Chess Championship title Viswanathan Anand retained the World Chess Championship title by wrapping up the final game against Veselin Topalov. World champion Viswanathan Anand today retained his crown winning the World Chess Championship title by wrapping up the final game against Veselin Topalov of Russia here. Anand achieved an improbable win playing with black in the final game to retain the world title by 6.5-5.5 margin after the end of the 12th and final game here. Experts over the world had predicted that Topalov, at his worst, will draw the last game under normal time control and then the match will be headed in to the rapid tiebreaker. However, it was not to be as Topalov, trying to look for complications, went haywire in a slightly difficult position and could not recover as Anand kept dealing one lethal blow after another to notch up his fourth world title in 11 years to remain the undisputed king of the game once again. |
