It seems the match is all but over after Carlsen WINS again to take a 3 game lead with 3 games to play. To Anand's credit, he came out fighting and had his chances, but Magnus defended accurately and Anand overreached himself and eventually lost when his attack fizzled out.

Another DRAW, and a rather boring game as well! If Anand is to have any chance, he will have to show greater fighting spirit with only four games to go.
