FIDE world chess championship 2010

The world chess championship match (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Chess_Championship) is on between Vaselin Topalov (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veselin_Topalov) and Vishy Anand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viswanathan_Anand)...they have played five games now (as on 30th april 2010), and Vishy leads 3-2.

The first game was a shocker as Vishy,playing black, lost without much resistance to Topalov in Grunfeld defence.People attributed this to the delay in Vishy's arrival to Sofia (where the match is being held) because of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano.Also,there was this theory that he was 5 years older to Topalov,and that the age factor gave the latter an advantage.I do not disagree that age is an important factor,but modern chess has come a long way with players focussing on overall physical fitness.

Vishy bounced back strongly in the second with a convincing victory in Catalan,playing white.He had a strong passer on b7 by 41st move, and Topalov resigned in the 43rd.

The third was a draw in Slav,and the fourth was simply brilliant as Vishy sacrificed a knight to launch a strong kingside attack to seal a win.The fourth game was again Catalan,where Topalov tried hanging on to an extra pawn on his queenside and soon found himself in a bit of trouble when anand rang the warning bells with Ng4!

The fifth was Slav again,and the players repeated the 3rd game till the fifteenth move,where anand was the first to deviate with h5 instead of h6,which he played earlier.Certainly not a game for newbies thanks to its positional nature,this game reached a draw.
