Résumé

Commentaire
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.
