Comentários
Anand plays solid and safe — one more draw secures the title and there is no reason to complicate matters.
Kramnik cannot create any complexity and the game simplifies quickly into a drawn structure.
A quiet 42-move draw sets up a potential decider in Game 11; the whole chess world is watching.
