The match is over twelve games and lasts from May 11 to 30. The prize fund is US $2.55 million, the winner getting $1.53 million (60%), the loser $1,02 million (40%).
King: In spite of the tangible tensions that were there in the first two drawn games, they were not exactly to the taste of a lot of chess fans around the world who are looking for more exciting encounters. I am sure the match will catch fire as some point. To satisfy the blood lust of a lot of you out there I am going to show you a game from the World Championship match from two years ago between Anand and Topalov, which was a very different kind of encounter. – Daniel King goes on to show us game four of the match in 2010.

The English chess trainer has a dedicated following of chess enthusiasts who simply like his style. "Andrew Martin's analysis fits me best," writes Karl-Heinz Isleif from Tokyo, Japan. "He makes sense, and no one is easier to understand and to follow. But what made you say he's from London, when he sounds like the guys down in Melbourne?" – Sorry, Karl-Heinz, Andrew was born in West Ham, London, and is pure Brit. He is a professional chess teacher and head trainer of the English youth team. He trains eight schools: Yateley Manor, Aldro, Millfield, Sunningdale, Waverley School, St Michael’s Sandhurst, Wellington College, Salesian College.
