Anand drew Topalov and has guaranteed himself at least a tie for first in Linares. Carlsen is the only player left who can catch Anand. He is engaged in a slightly better Queen and Rook endgame against Radjabov.
Congratulations to Vishy!

Oh please Kasparov, come back from retirement and bring back the exciting games so we don’t have to continue watching this Draw Masters play.
Well done Vishy! There is a reason why he is World Champion.
Because he can DRAW like no other!! Alekhine must be turning in his grave.
And what is wrong with drawing? Being exceptionally difficult to beat is no flaw!!
Winning is not always posible. Topalov was wise enough to recognize that.
True Genius – Anand , Carlsen has lot to learn from Anand, How not to lose.
Good tournament overall, nobody really pushed anand !. That says it all. Anand conserving strategies for World championship match I guess
