Game 9 Ends with a Draw!

After 45 moves and five grueling hours…the game ended with a draw.

With Game 10 scheduled for today Monday October 27th, Anand now needs only 1/2 a point to win the World Championship, which means that Kramnik would have to win the remaining 3 games to achieve the Tie-Break! The Championship will be decided when one player has achieved 6.5 points – at which point , the games will end.

What’s left of the schedule is as follows…

• Game 11 Wednesday October 29th
• Game 12 Friday October 31st
• Tiebreak Sunday November 2nd
