Resumen

Anand chooses the Queen's Indian and draws comfortably. Score reaches 6–4 — Anand needs just half a point in the remaining two games to become world champion.

Comentario

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.
