Game 11 of the World Chess Championship between Israel’s Boris Gelfand and Viswanathan Anand ended in a draw in Moscow on Saturday leaving the match tied at 5.5-5.5 with only one more game to play.
If the final game ends in a tie as well, the competitors will square off in a series of speed matches to determine a winner.

Nakamura is better than both these guys.
If Nakamura is better then why he did not qualify for the final.
Boris had 12 minutes to make 15 moves and Vishy offers a draw. Pathetic. Vishy was in no danger of losing; why not put some pressure on him?
i hope that anand is better than gelfand in rapid games, anyhow these world championship is little boring, both are very keen to make a draws!!
Don’t worry, tomorrow’s game will be another draw. Then, the chess world champion will be decided by a rapid game, in which chess players can make mistakes very easily due to the time constraints. In my opinion, they do not deserve their $1-1.5 million. Mark, they’re playing to draw, not to win. Neither of them has enough courage to take a risk or enough motivation to try to win. Maybe they are trying to do some sightseeing in Russia, and the tournament is getting in their way. So, they play 24 moves, call it a game, and go sightseeing. Magnus Carlsen would have given us a great tournament. Not these two.
