Game 11:An English Opening For The First Time Ends In A 65 Moves Draw


The opening was very quiet as the 2 chess titans made a lot of maneuvering with their pieces looking for better squares.The endgame was very tense as GM\Anand pressed hard for a win but GM\Topalov held tenaciously as he counterattacked by his queen-side passsed pawn so a draw was inevitable.

The game was a Slav Defense where GM\Anand Played a new move 13... Rc8 and the game went into a different colored Bishop endgame where GM\Topalov pressed hard and made use of his opponents tiny mistakes but when GM\Anand played 42... Bc6 ? it was over.

Game 7 was a very hard fought Catalan-Bogo Indian hybrid-GM\Topalov played a nice game and it was clear that he was well prepared to face GM\Anand's Catalan.Before the start of the game the 2 grandmasters stood a moment of silence for the passing of ex Fide President\Florencio Campomanes- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florencio_Campomanes-
The legendary world chess champion and Fide Presidential Candidate GM\Anatoly Karpov made the first ceremonial move .
