Chess fans were waiting to see what Anand would play after the disaster in game one. Would he repeat the Gruenfeld with some devastating novelty, or would he switch gears? The answer was a rock solid Slav, leaving it up to Topalov to show what he had in store against it. The Bulgarian was unable to crack it, and Anand’s setup was never in any real danger.
At the press conference Topalov had Antoaneta Stefanova sitting next to him, for doing Spanish translations. Both of them stated that “it’s in the regulations” that one can’t offer a draw directly, but only through the arbiter. But this is not true; the official World Championship regulations don’t mention the draw offer at all.
Don’t miss today’s press conference, which I’ll put up in a few hours. It’s clearly the best so far. Also a video analysis of game will be posted shortly. For now here is the full analysis of the Anand - Topalov WCC 2010 Game 3. Hope that you enjoyed our live coverage of the game 3. Don't forget to join us tomorrow.
