Die internationale Schachszene freut sich mit dem alten und neuen Weltmeister Viswanathan Anand. „Das ist ein großer Sieg für Anand und für das Schach. Er war besser vorbereitet und hat den WM-Titel vollkommen verdient. Mit Ausnahme der zehnten Partie gelang es ihm, in diesem Duell seinen Stil durchzusetzen“, würdigte der frühere russische Weltmeister und Ausnahmespieler Garri Kasparow den 38-jährigen Großmeister aus Indien nach dessen 6,5:4,5-Erfolg über Wladimir Kramnik (Russland) in Bonn.
Der „Tiger aus Madras“, wie der nunmehr dreifache Weltmeister genannt wird, nahm die gläserne WM-Trophäe aus den Händen von Weltverbandspräsident Florencio Campomanes in Empfang. „Es war sehr schwer, aber jetzt bin ich glücklich“, sagte Anand. „Kramnik hat in den letzten Partien Kamikaze gespielt, weil er mit dem Rücken zur Wand stand. Ich musste bis zum Schluss sehr aufmerksam sein.“

{King: This was the second blitz game in the play-off of the final of the PCA
quickplay in Geneva (the first was drawn). Anand was convinced that the
opening variation was better for White so repeated it. However, he was less
thrilled to find himself with exactly the same pawn structure on the kingside
as before. Once again, Kasparov had a superb position.} 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3.

Black could probably already try to win something on the kingside, but tries
to squeeze the maximum out of the position.} 22. Be3 h3 23. g3 Nb5 24. Rd1 Nc3

might have been stronger, but after his experience with this opening in speed
game 1, he had learned his lesson: the pawn on h3 just had to go. A sound
practical decision, and germane to this discussion. A rook's pawn nested
on the sixth rank can create all kinds of difficulties. Here, it helps to set
up a mating net, but even without queens, such a pawn is a thorn in the side,
as we shall see.} Nxc2 37. Qd7 Nd4 $2 (37... e4 38. Nf4 Bd4) 38. Qxb7 a5 39.
