Magnus Carlsen, playing with white pieces, beat Viswanathan Anand to win second successive title. Carlsen won the 12-game rubber 6.5-4.5.
Trailing by a full point with just two games remaining, Indian chess ace Viswanathan Anand would desperately need a victory to stay afloat against Norwegian Magnus Carlsen in the World Championship match here on Sunday.
With the scores at 5.5-4.5 in favour of the Norwegian, Anand needs one victory, and the Indian will try to achieve it in the last game of the match slated on Tuesday given that Carlsen will play with white in the penultimate game.
The chances for Anand are diminishing with each passing game and the fact that Carlsen has been vulnerable is what's keeping the Indian going.
