A new (or not) World Champion will be crowned this week !

The World Championship Match is currently being played in Sochi, Russia. After a rest day yesterday, the second half of the 12-games match is starting today. Norwegian Magnus Carlsen won the last game and is now one win ahead of Indian Vishy Anand, who already climbed back in the match once, winning game 3 just after losing game 2. He only has six games left, though.
