Before I had even finished hauling myself out of bed and taking a shower, Vishy Anand and Boris Gelfand had already called it quits for the day. The opening led directly to an endgame, and even though Anand had a little pressure it wasn’t enough to keep the game going for long. The draw was agreed on move 25.
