Alexander Morozevich won a full point after his first win in Mexico. He has defeated his countryman Peter Svidler in variant of Scotch Game. This was the only decisive game in round 3. View all games so far.

In the most expected game, Anand and Kramnik played Petroff's Defence. Position was equal but Anand tried to sharpen the game. This gave a better position for Kramnik, but in fact the position was draw all the time. They have 2 points each.

Alexander Grischuk played very aggressive against Aronian. Grischuk had not enough time (less than 4 minutes remaining for 10 moves) to calculate variants and a draw was agreed by three-fold repetition! He had a winning position - the winning move was 28...Qh6! Aronian disappoints so far. Many were expecting that he would be the most aggressive player in Mexico... He is last with only 1 point.

Gelfand played for a win against Leko. This was the longest game so far in Mexico. A draw was agreed at move 100.

World Chess Championship 2007 takes place in Mexico city (Mexico). Vishy Anand and the world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik lead with a half point.

Anand, best rated chess player in the World, won his game against Armenian Levon Aronian. Aronian, with white, sacrificed a piece to gain some initiative, but Anand proved that this sacrifice is improper and won a full point.

The World Champion, Vladimir Kramnik from Russia, demonstrated us a new style of play (very similar to Topalov's one!). In the game with his countryman Alexander Morozevich, he completely outplayed him and won a full point. Kramnik's favorite Catalan Opening was played. The World champion sacrificed a piece (knight) and the position become unclear with very powerful attack for white. Morozevich played several "human" moves in a row and his position became untenable. Good play by the World chess champion.
