Next Tournament

The New World Champion

Vishy Anand of India has captured his second World Championship and is the undisputed World Chess Champion. Barring any further FIDE shenanigans he will defend his regained title in a head to head match with Vladimir Kramnik next year. The next challengers/candidate series will began next year and the winner of that is to face Topalov in a head to head match. The Topalov-Candidate Match winner will then face the Anand-Kramnik Winner. Sounds simple doesn't it?

  1. It was a delight to watch the championship. I followed every move of it with the help of live audio commentary at ICC.
