Indian Viswanathan Anand retains the World Chess Championship title, after beating Russian challenger Vladimir Kramnik.
Anand took another draw in the 11th game against Kramnik to win the championship and 1.5 million euros prize money.
As Anand led with 6.5 points to Kramnik’s 4.5 points, the Russian would not have been able to overtake him in a final 12th game.

I am under the impression that the 1.5 mi Euro fund was split equally between the two players, but Reuters mentioned that it was won by Anand and that Kramnik got 0.6 mi. I think they made some mistake there.
Very interesting gesture by Kramnik at the end of the last game, that’s why he is one of the greats too.
