Magnus Carlsen is the new chess world champion! He beat Vishy Anand after 10 games with a score of 6.5 to 3.5.
The match started out pretty boring with 2 quick draw.
Carlsen was the first to win as he turned a tiny advantage into a win in game 5 and playing black in game 2 he took his second win of three.
In game 9 Carlsen played black, but after a major blunder by Anand, Carlsen was able to secure his last victory of the match.

| Last move played by Anand was 28. Nf1 was considered the blunder of the game |
Even if a draw was enough for Carlsen to secure his title in the 10th game, he pushed very hard for a win. He said in the press conference that he did go for a win, but when the attack failed he just sealed the draw and become chess world champion!
