0-1.
Anand was in total control right from the opening stages of this game. And though he had to sacrifice both his rooks for his opponents queen, in the end , his superior positional play and a dominating pawn structure proved too much for GM Bacrot. Bacrot resigned on move 54.
In the other games, World Champion Vasselin Topalov was heldto a draw by GM Peter Svidler of Russia in a Sicilian: Najdorf, Byrne (English) attack. Svidler had some anxious moments before the game was drawn after repetition of moves ,as, both players found it difficult to make any headway in a position of equal strength.
Former World champion GM Ponomariov was held to a draw by U.S. GM Gata Kamsky in a Ruy Lopez Game. Gata Kamsky is having a great comeback to the international chess circuit after a long break.
