World Champion Magnus Carlsen exhibited a rock-solid defence to draw the 10th game of the World Chess Championship match against challenger Viswanathan Anand in Sochi yesterday.

With this fourth consecutive draw Magnus (5.5 points) is now just one point away from successfully defending his world chess title. Carlsen, playing black repeated the Grunfeld Defence, but Anand varied from 1st game, employing the famous Russian System, a coincidence, given the match is being played in Russia.
