Topalov tried to steer the game toward complicated and unclear positions, which he likes, by offering a pawn sacrifice at a couple of junctures.

Anand Wins Again to Lead World Chess Championship -- Viswanathan Anand, the world chess champion, used a blistering attack to win the fourth game of his title match against Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria on Wednesday.

As in Game 2, he chose the Catalan, an opening long favored by Vladimir Kramnik, the former world chess champion who won a memorable, and acrimonious match against Topalov in 2006. Though it might be amusing to assume that Anand has chosen the opening for psychological reasons (play the opening of Topalov’s greatest nemesis), it is more than likely that Anand selected ... | |
