Anand wins World Chess Championship!

Viswanathan Anand has won the World Chess Championship 2008 match over Vladimir Kramnik of Russia by drawing the final game!

Final score: Anand 6.5 - Kramnik 4.5

This marks the first time that an Indian, or a non-Russian since Bobby Fischer in 1972 has won the undisputed World Chess Championship over a match!

When Anand won the World Chess Championship 2007 in a tournament, people were hesitant to call him THE World Chess Champion because he had won it in a tournament instead of in a match like it is usually done.

When He won the World Chess Championship 2000 in a match sponsored by FIDE (the International Chess Federation), there was a rival World Chess Champion in PCA (Professional Chess Association), who was Kramnik.

But now, there is no doubt:

ANAND IS THE UNDISPUTED, NON-CONTROVERSIAL, WORLD CHESS CHAMPION !!
