Big news in the world of chess: Vladimir Kramnik won the final game of the World Championship title match against challenger Peter Leko yesterday (18 October 2004), and thus held onto his title by the narrowest possible margin at the last possible moment.
This match had a high quota of 'grandmasterly' draws, including one especially pointless game of only 17 moves. But there were four fine wins, at least two other exciting games, and a notable absence of obvious mistakes by either player - with the possible exception of over-risky play by Kramnik in game no.8, although Leko's refutation was correspondingly impressive.
