Is Gelfand trying to chip off Anand's pawns now?

Rxg2+ Kh1 Rb7 is what Anand should play.

Knight sac for a mating threat.

Crap. They haven't updated the moves yet.

The official website hasn't updated the moves and messed up Gelfand's time.

45 sec vs 6 min.

R + 2p vs R

Anand is holding as black, but he is up gainst two pawns; so Gelfand can win it out, even though he is low on time.

DRAW!!! Anand leads 2 - 1 in tie-breaks, needing only a draw in the next game to win the match. Gelfand will have to win with the black pieces to force the match to blitz games! Pretty tense stuff here!Laughing

Draw.

Now it's 2-1.

Enjoy.

draw! gelfy missed a tactical win... if he loses the WC match then that blunder will haunt him for years. dramatic/climatic final game in 10 minutes, Vishy needs a win or a draw to bring it home, if gelfy wins then it goes to blitz!

Which tactic was that?

Amazing technique at the end. This game  goes to show that rapid games can teach,beginners like us, more than classical games.
