I have been following the World Chess Championship 2010, between Viswanathan Anand (India) and Veselin Topalov (Challenger) (Bulgaria). The match is being played in Sofia and will last up to 12 games. The winner is the first to 6.5 points. 11 games have been played and the players are tied at 5.5 points each. The final game is tomorrow, with the match being decided by blitz games on Thursday if another draw occurs. It has been pretty exciting to follow my first WCC. I am watching some commentaries on the games after they have finished, and am learning a little bit about this complex game.
You can follow the last game tomorrow live at anand-topalov.com. If you’re in North America log-on as soon as you get to work and check on the game until it finishes around lunch time. It’s great fun to review the moves and think about what you would do next.
