Zusammenfassung

The game in which Viswanathan Anand becomes the undisputed World Chess Champion. Kramnik plays the Nimzo-Indian but the game quickly simplifies. After 25 moves Kramnik offers a draw, Anand accepts, and India has its first undisputed world chess champion. Game 12 is not played.

Kommentar

Kramnik knows he cannot win the match; the draw is agreed quickly and graciously — a dignified concession from the outgoing champion.

Anand accepts and becomes the undisputed World Chess Champion, capping a remarkable victory built entirely on preparation and precision.

The match outcome is a triumph of preparation and versatility over solidity and experience — Anand's performance will be studied for generations.
