The Blues looked set to open up a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League table when Branislav Ivanovic swept home following a David Luiz flick from Willian's corner.
West Brom keeper Ben Foster saved well from Samuel Eto'o and Willian.
But the Baggies moved out of the bottom three after Anichebe got ahead of Luiz to head home Saido Berahino's cross.
Chelsea created enough chances to have won comfortably.
But Jose Mourinho's side will be replaced at the top of the table if either Arsenal or Manchester City win on Wednesday. The Gunners are at home to Manchester United, while City host Sunderland.
Anichebe's 87th-minute equaliser will raise questions as to whether Mourinho's side, who were held to a goalless draw by West Ham two weeks ago, have the quality to win the title.
In a game that will not live long in the
memory, Ivanovic's goal in the third minute of stoppage time was reward
for a dominant first-half display.
Chelsea smothered West Brom with possession yet
Willian's long-range effort was the closest they came before their
Serbia defender pounced from inside the six-yard area.
