Anand had a commanding 3 point lead at the first half of the match winning games 3 and 5 as black and 6 as white and the rest are draws. Kramnik scored his first and only victory in game 10 playing the Nimzo-Indian opening.
The 11th and last game was a surprise to Kramnik after Anand chose to open with his pet, the sicilian. After the 24th move, Kramnik decided to offer a draw after seeing that Anand had established a slightly better position.
It's Anand's third time to win the title and is now the undisputed world champion in chess.
