The World Chess Championship Match between the incumbent world champion Vishwanathan Anand and Vladimir Kramnik was held in Bonn, National Art and Exhibition Gallery from October 14 to November 2 with the sponsorship of Evonik and Gazprom.
Vishwanathan Anand defended his World Chess Championship title after outscoring ex-champion Vladimir Kramnik with the decisive draw on the eleventh game of the match by 6.5-4.5. Anand won third and fifth games of the match in Meran Variation which were crucial victories to the end while sixth game even enforced the Indian grandmaster's success in the match while Kramnik's attempt of counter-revolution in the tenth game did not work since he had to win all the remaining games to prolong the match to the play-offs which was technically an impossible task.
