Magnus Carlsen won game 9 of the 12 game World Chess Championship match against Vishwanathan Ananda, in the match now now taking place in Chennai, India. This is Magnus third win in this match and he leads 6-3.
The first to score 6.5 points wins the match, meaning a win or draw by Carlsen in tomorrow's game 10 will take the world chess champion title. Today's game opened with a complicated Nimzo-Indian Saemisch variation. Anand had white and maneuvered for an attack on Carlsen's king position, but Carlsen played precisely and won after Anand blundered at move 28 with Nf1.
