Not necessarily. The game will be lost by the player who blunders next.

No big deal Magnus is going to crush either of these guys anyways. I don't care who wins.

I see no way to lose
anand has perpetual check if he wants a draw.

Looks like the momentum is shifting in favor of Topalov for winning this match not just winning this game maybe.

I do not understand the clock display on the official Live Coverage website, it does not seem to add the increment per move? But the rules on the same website say so?
