World Chess Champoinship 2008
We’re at the half way point of the world chess championship between India’s Vishwanathan Anand and Russia’s Vladimir Kramnik. After 6 games the score now is 4 1/2 to 1 1/2 in favor of Anand.
Here are some useful links.
- Video highlights and post match press conference of the last game.
- Official website. From the sponsors of the 1.5 M euro event.
- The week in chess. Has commentary.
- Chessvibes. Has live reports.

- Chess blog of Susan Polgar
You can analyze the games on your own with computer help of course. The strongest chess computer at the moment is Rybka, which both Anand and Kramnik have said they use in their analysis.
You can download Rybka 2.2 (current version is 3.0). Rybka 2.2 is still stronger than all human players. If you are interested in computer chess you can obtain the source code for Strelka, reputedly a reverse engineered clone of Rybka.
