Right before the first time control, it looked like Kramnik was going to seal the deal to be Anand's next challenger. Gelfand had a very difficult position and little time. On the other hand, Carlsen had virtually nothing against Radjabov.
A slight inaccuracy by Kramnik gave Gelfand new light and he held. The only game left was Radjabov vs Carlsen. Even though it was a technically drawn position, Carlsen kept on pushing and Radjabov eventually blundered and lost.
It will come down to one final game for Carlsen and Kramnik. They are tied and it things remain the same, Carlsen will win on tiebreaks as he has one more win than Kramnik. But neither can sit back and play safe.
