Anand decided to give up the pair of Bishops to double Black pawns on the c-file and very much followed the line he has used earlier against Russia's Sergey Karjakin successfully at the Norway Chess Tournament. Magnus Carlsen deviated on the sixth move and a series of exchanges followed.

World Chess Champion Viswanathan Anand held Magnus Carlsen for a draw in the 7th game at the FIDE World Chess Championship Match, in Chennai, on Monday. The 32-move Berlin Ruy Lopez game was drawn by repetition.
Anand decided to give up the pair of Bishops to double Black pawns on the c-file and very much followed the line he has used earlier against Russia's Sergey Karjakin successfully at the Norway Chess Tournament. Magnus Carlsen deviated on the sixth move and a series of exchanges followed.
The endgame did not appeal to any ambitious ideas for both players and they decided to settle for a draw when the opportunity arose.
Magnus Carlsen continues to lead in the match with an extra two points that he earned with victories in Game 5 and 6. The score, after seven games, is Carlsen - Anand 4.5 - 2.5. Five games remain to be played in the classical time control. Magnus Carlsen needs only two more points from five games to win the title of World Chess Champion 2013. In the remaining five games, Anand has two Whites remaining.
