Vishwanthan Anand won the 3rd game of the World Chess Championship match against Vladimir Kramnik. Kramnik made a huge blunder in time trouble. Anand played aggressively and blitzed his moves in an obviously well prepared line in a Semi-slav Meran System game. As it always happens, aggressive players such as Anand like their games unbalanced and Kramnik played into his hands.

Anand now enjoys a 2-1 lead in the match and will go confidently into the 4th game where he has the white pieces. If the form he demonstrated in the 2nd game is any indication, he is a firm favorite in the 4th game too. Match Score Kramnik 0.5, 0.5, 0 -- Total 1 Anand 0.5, 0.5, 1 --- Total 2 Enjoy the game!
