Chess news: Kramnik stays positive -- This is just the kind of situation the chess followers from around the world, sans Russia, have been waiting for. Trailing by a point after four games, Vladimir Kramnik finds himself out of his comfort zone on the second rest day of the on-going World chess championship match against Viswanathan Anand. Undefeated in three World title matches since 2000, Kramnik has never conceded the lead so early. The Russian bounced back against Peter Leko (in 2004) and Veselin Topalov (2006) to keep the chess crown he won from Garry Kasparov (2000). At the highest level, a chess player losing with white pieces is a rarity. Kramnik’s last defeat with white pieces in a classical time format came ... Anand wins to take 2-point lead over Kramnik -- World chess champion Viswanathan Anand took a commanding two-point lead over challenger Vladimir Kramnik on Monday when the Russian handed him a victory by making a horrible blunder under time pressure. The win gave Anand, of India, a 3.5-1.5 lead after five games in their 12-game chess match. It was Anand's second victory with the black pieces; the other three games have been drawn. Kramnik called his situation "difficult but not completely hopeless." Anand repeated the same line of the Meran Variation that brought him spectacular success in game three but varied from that game on move 15, thus sidestepping anything that Kramnik and his team might ... Anand takes 3-point lead over Kramnik in chess -- India's Viswanathan Anand beat challenger Vladimir Kramnik again on Tuesday to put another nail in the coffin of the Russian challenger's fast-disappearing hopes of reclaiming the chess world championship. The win -- Anand's third in four games -- gave the defending chess champion a 4.5-1.5 lead in their 12-game match. Such a streak is virtually unheard of in world championship match play, where the vast majority of chess games are drawn. When Kramnik defeated then-world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 2000, for example, he won two games, while the other 13 were drawn. Kramnik lost the world chess championship to Anand last year.
