Bwin.com odds for tomorrow:
3.2-1.5-7.5
If we accept these as accurate probabilities (after normalisation), we could say that Anand has
14.8%+74.16%*x
chances, which means that he needs 67.4% chances in the tiebreaker to break even.

Well this looks like a very boring game! I think Anand until now was trying not to lose with black but now he specifically is playing for a draw. (Don't assume there is some deep and subtle meaning to this post, most likely there is none)

I think finally black has a better position than white, for the first time in this whole match. Hardly likely that anyone will win this though. We are lucky to have seen 4 decisive games anyway, remember Kramnik vs Kasparov? yuck.

Haha.. Susan Polgar has this to say
"This is perhaps one of the biggest blunders in the final game of a world championship match. I am still stunned that Topalov did not sense any danger whatsoever by opening up the h1 - a8 diagonal."

Shipov says now they will go into a 3 vs 3 pawn ending with Anand winning.
oh they're moving so fast now.

I root for Toppy now. I think he can get that bishop in the corner and black is kinda trapped in its own web...
But now Anand is back...I think white couldve taken that bishop to some profit...
