Viswanathan Anand will resume his quest to retain the world championship in Bonn later on Wednesday night. Anand needs just half a point to successfully defend the title he won last year in Mexico. His opponent Vladimir Kramnik of Russia put a spanner in the works just when everything was going according to plan by winning Game 11 of the championship.
It has been been a dramatically one-sided affair thus far.

Anand has won three games, the third, fifth and sixth and drawn the rest.
