Anand tied at 5.5 points with Topolov after 11 rounds

World champion Viswanathan Anand had to settle for yet another draw against challenger Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria to remain tied after the 11th round of the ongoing World Chess Championship at Sofia in Bulgaria. With just a round to go in the 12-game competition, bothAnand and Topalov are tied at 5.5 points each. Anand and Topalov have so far registered two wins each while seven games have ended in no result. If anything, the world champion has not been able to display is his superior form which was the talking point amongst the chess buffs in the first half of the match. After losing the first game and winning the second and fourth thereafter, Anand's best chance was in game nine when he missed multiple winning opportunities. But the Indian ace now finds him in a situation where Topalov holds the edge with his white pieces in the final game.
