Exactly a month ago we were all preparing to go into the tiebreak of the Anand-Gelfand World Chess Championship 2012. There was excitement all around – not just in Moscow. How much do you remember of what transpired in Moscow this last month? Here’s a quiz to find out. Enjoy remembering the world chess championship 2012.
1- Can you identify the two people in the photo?
… and the four people in this photo?
The answer is at Mate in Moscow.
2- Who said this is? (Hint: Not Boris Gelfand)
“I went to school in Dnepropetrovsk, but there wasn’t a single university in the city that had a chess programme. So I had to choose between Moscow, Minsk and Lviv.”
The answer is at the official world chess championship website.
3- This position appeared on the chess board in which game? You can replay the game with Chess King.
