FIDE Candidates Tournament 2014

Anand seems on target to win the tournament and face Magnus Carlsen for a World Championship rematch later this year. There are two rounds to go, and Anand has a clear point lead. Aronian will need to outscore him to take the title. In round 12, Anand could afford to draw in a winning position (though admittedly, the computer says he is winning, but it might have been hairy, to say the least).
