09.28.07 Kramnik and Gelfand played to a draw and with that Kramnik has lost the title of world champion. Leko playing the white pieces beat Morozevich. Grischuk - Anand turned out to be the game of the day, it was a long and interesting struggle that, at points, Anand was in jeopardy of losing. He fought gallantly and maintained the draw. With only one round to go there is one configuration in which Anand would tie for the title and not win it outright. Anand would need to lose to Leko and Gelfand would have to beat Morozevich. This scenario highly unlikely as Anand - Leko will undoubtedly be a quick draw.

The 2007 World Chess Championship will be played from September 12 - October 1, 2007 at the Sheraton Centro Histˆ„rico Hotel in Mexico City, Mexico. Eight of the world's strongest players will face each other in a double round robin tournament to determine the new World Champion. All games begin at 3:00 p.m. EST
