Anand Draws In Game 6

2 May 2010 – Last night game 6 was played and it ended in a draw. Anand with White, began with 1.d4 and the Open Catalan transpired during the game. White lost both its bishops and was fully utilising the knight pair by placing them in annoying positions to black. The game could have ended with an earlier draw at move 45 but black had other ideas. In the end, the game came to a dead draw at move 58.

Here is the end game scenario and a copy of the game from playchess.com and an analysis with Fritz11 for you to look at and analyse further.

So the series stands at Anand 3.5-2.5 Topalov. Today, 2nd May 2010 is a rest day and the seventh game will resume Monday night, 3rd May 2010.
