World Chess Championship Update

In Game 4, challenger Boris Gelfand had the white pieces.  For the second time, he opened with P-Q4.  Champion Viswanathan Anand again responded with the Slav Defense (1. P-Q4  P-Q4.  2.  P-QB4  P-QB3).  And just like in Game 2, Gelfand couldn't do anything with Anand's defense.  After 34 moves, we had yet another draw.  You can read about it here.  Tomorrow is a rest day, and then the champ will have the white pieces in Game 5.

SCORE AFTER FOUR MATCHES:
Anand (IND) 2 - 2 Gelfand (ISR)
