Gelfand is lucky to hold the 3rd Game of World Chess Championship 2012

V Anand came very close to winning the 3rd game of their World Champinship match, but played a safe move on the 35th, under some time trouble. Anand tried to steer Gelfand away from the Gruenfeld by playing an anti-Gruenfeld 3. f3 It appears that Gelfand is very well prepared for this match and is determined to hang on and trouble Anand. The match is being held at Moscow, probably the World's Capital City of Chess. Anand is the defending Champion.

Anand, Gelfand draw the first two games

The reigning World Champion, V Anand and Boris Gelfand drew the first two games in the Chess World Championships of 2012 in Moscow. Gelfand did well to easily hold with black pieces in the first game, Anand returned the favor, doing the same in a Semi Slav in the second game.
