May 30, 2012 17:20

Vishwanath Anand leads 2-1 in World Chess Championship in Russia. He is one step away from winning the title. The third game was a draw, but Anand needs a draw in game 4 to win the title.

There will be four games under rapid chess rules with 25 minutes to each player and a ten seconds increment after every move is made. In case of a 2-2 result, the two will play two blitz games with five minutes each with a three seconds increment. There will be five such matches if the tie persists and finally an Armageddon game will be played with five minutes to white and four to black, and white will be forced to win should this arise.

Anand plays Boris Gelfand.
