World Championship Game 4: Anand wins, takes the lead

(Game and report courtesy: Chessbase.com)

Three decisive games in the first four of a world championship match? Who needs drawing rules with such knock-out hungry players? In a second Catalan, with a nothing special novelty, Anand decided it was an eye-for-an-eye when he dropped a knight onto Topalov's king to quickly achieve a spectacular victory of his own. He now takes the lead and it is the challenger who is in crisis mode.
