Anand's lost two games ago wwas an unconvincing...to Toplov. At the interview Toplov said he didn't know how he could have won it. But Anand would have otherwise. Anand showing little bit of weariness... should have held for a draw instead of resigning. Any how last two games Anand has regained a bit of confidence by showing courage to fight to the fininsh and trying hard for a win with white.
Hope he could win with white at the next game- Thats the only hope left in the match.
We got some stats for game nine from Kiril Penusliski:
* Chairs: Anand's chair is a bit lower – a good two cm – lower then Topalov's. * Yawning: Anand-Topalov 3:0 [plus five separate occasions of someone in the audience falling asleep and actually snoring] * Water refills: Anand-Topalov 5:5 * Trips to the WC: Anand-Topalov 4:5. The players are accompanied by the arbiter. Anand once took a long walk down the corridor to the WC without actually using it; he was still followed all the way by an arbiter. * Coughing: Anand Topalov-Nikolopoulous 0:16 * Death toll: One fly menace, killed by the arbiter at the request of the players
Anand just need to win 11th game with whites pieces & need to fight for a draw in last (12th) game with black pieces... So, that Anand would gonna win this match by 0.5 points.. Good Luck... Vishi..!!

Idiot...no one can win the match by half a point...You either win by a whole point or remain even-stevens...
