Game 14 (out of 14) of the World Championship match in Astana kicks off at 11.00 CEST on Saturday. Read all our reports from the match here.
Vishy Anand retained his title as world champion by beating Veselin Topalov 6½-5½ in their 2010 12-game match in Sofia. The Indian legend clinched overall victory by beating his famed colleague with black in game 12, played on May 11, a Tuesday.
Topalov faltered on move 31.
Anand had just played 30...f5, attacking White’s central structure. Topalov, an attacking player himself, failed to feel the danger and replied by 31.exf5, opening up the light-squared long diagonal (with the black bishop from a8 dangerously lined up with the black king on g2).
31...e4 followed, naturally, and Topalov erred again with 32.fxe4. Check out the video analysis below to see how Anand wrapped up the game in style!
