It was a proud moment for World Champion Viswanathan Anand, when he again won against Russian Vladimir Kramnik in the sixth game with white pieces. Now Anand has widened his lead to a huge 3 points at the world championship match.

Anand, who took his tally to 4.5 points, is just two points away from launching himself as the all-time-great world champion. Earlier in 2001, he won the world championship and last year too he won the world championship match tournament. And this time too it seems that victory will be his.

As for Kramnik, he lost third and a fifth game earlier.

Overall, Anand displayed a good and flawless performance, playing with a balanced state of mind.
