Games 7 and 8 were both Drawn,

score remains 2-0 for Carlsen by Wins. 8 down, 4 to go, and odds must be
now 30-1 or 40-1 that Anand will prevent that Carlsen will be new World Champion.
World OrthoChess enters a new phase with record young Champion still age 22: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_Carlsen. For example, Carlsen was only age 4 when this Chess Variant Page started about January 1995 on Internet, only just turned age 2 when December 1992 Falcon the first of the four fundamental Chess pieces was discovered, only age 5 when Fischer proposed face-saving Fischer Random in Buenos Aires mid-1996 etc. All here congratulate Magnus!
(Of course the sardonic could scoff that an ideal Tournament for World Title might require, Oh, let's say 20 Wins, not a mere formulaic 2 Wins.)
Who will be the first challenger? Here's a vote for Hikaru Nakamura to the extent politics will play a part. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikaru_Nakamura.
