The World Chess Championship final organized in 2010 in Sofia generated outstanding interest. It is presumably well-known to every reader that Anand won 6½ - 5½, defending his world title.But to the final an adventurous path was leading. On the pages of this book, I make an attempt at recalling the story of the match as attractively as possible. To assist the better understanding of the memorable 12th game, detailed annotations are enclosed, which in addition to the analysis of the variations, also touch on the role tournament tactical and moral factors played in the forming of the result.
