April 28, 2010
World Champion Anand pulled ahead today against his challenger, Veselin Topalov with a tactical win. The score in Topalov-Anand (April 21-May 12) is now 2.5-1.5 in Anand's favor. Tomorrow, Thursday, is a rest day.

According to GM Ian Rogers, who will file a full report later today, Anand was pleased with his performance. “It was a very complex position, with a lot of tension on the queenside,” said Anand. “I thought [my 23rd move] was clinching it but you can’t be 100% sure.”
