They've drawn each game up till this win by Gelfand.

Beautiful mate at the end: Anand, the world champion, playing black, marched a pawn across the board, but Gelfand will checkmate in two moves regardless. The knight checks on G6, the King is forced to G8, then the Rook checkmates on G7.

Incidently, Kasparov just called out Anand as old'n lazy while visiting the match in Moscow. Gelfand came through candidate matches as a surprise challenger. He's been around forever in the top twenty.

Black could avoid the mate by sacrificing his rook with h1+, then promoting the pawn with a check, then sacrificing the new queen by taking the knight at e5. No point in that though. He has lost.
