Viswanathan Anand crowned himself as the new World chess champion with a short 20-move draw against Peter Leko of Hungary in the 14th and final round of the Championships in Mexico City on Saturday night.

Mexico proved special for Anand, as six months ago he took over as World No 1 in Elo ratings, soon after winning the Morelia-Linares tournament.

His game with Leko was a Ruy Lopez Marshall. Anand (white) opted for a solid draw to ensure a clear title triumph.
