Game worth a thousand words. Kramnik's seconds needs to work overtime now

KRamnik is the arrogant one really, now he will eat his words about being the better match player since he just lost with his pet defence to d4

May be a stupid question. Why did Kremnick resigned. Can somebody tell me the steps for Anand to win?

Thanks

The way these grandmasters play, I never figure out why they resign!!!!!!!! in the end, I thought Kremnick is one move away from making a queen.

If you spell the Black player's name right I might tell you.

Nice first survey of this beautiful game! But why don?Ǭ¥t you let us know explicitely who commented the game? The name of the commentator is nearly as important as the names of the players. To make your nice site even nicer a download possibilitiy would be great.

Damian, I don't like your comment.
You attack two of the greatest players of our game fot their off-the-board behaviour, Why not add Michael Tal, a drunkard and drug addict?
Oh, how lucky we are that well behaved gentleman can also play exciting chess! That really gives hope for our meagre bourgeois lives...

I hope we get some more great games, even at the cost of some childish ranting and drunken disbehaviour of the players.

A very nice game from 2 great players! It was very interesting to see how the open "g-file" became the flood gate of black's attack. White had some interesting attack on black's "uncastled king" but black's defense was sufficient - very interesting game. :-). Go Anand!

Frits, I don't like yours.

I'm guessing when you support someone you take into consideration off-the-board aspects of that someone, regardless of the sport. Or maybe you don't, but it's not that weird.

In any case, more than "attacks" I would call it statements unless you pretend to deny what Damian pointed out. Nobody is saying they weren't great players as far as I can see.

Oh well, this is the beauty of the internet, isn't it? ;-)

Peter: You are so stupid. Kramnik is playing white and Anand is playing black. I spelled Anand's name right. You dont even know which player is playing which color. Now do you have an answer, why Kramnik resigned??

Great game!!

Anand can make a series of checks to win the b-pawn, and then the a-pawn.

freezerr : You are good. Thanks for explanation. Are you a grandmaster? If you are not I will nominate you to be one.

Kramnik resigned because he's playing like a patzer!

Thanks for the "start of a real analysis" of this impressive game!

There is a typo at the end: there are still *nine* games to play, not seven. :-)

Nice game, nice site.

Great game. A classic like Nadal v Federer. Kramnik did well too.

cyril chua, your comparison is wrong,
Kramnik is the CHALLENGER (like NADAL) and its ANAND(like FEDERER) who won :)

any suggestions for the opening tomorrow? e4 or d4?

It would be great if Anand played 1.e4 just to put Kramnik under extra pressure! :)

Maybe tomorrow Anand plays d4 and if Kramnik (Kremnick haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!) answers with d5 Anand can play the exanged Slav as white this time and crush Kramnik. Easy. So Kramnik will play another Nimzo and actually level the match. Can't wait.

Best game of the match to be played !!!!!!
Anand keeping his cool, walking on a tight rope drives the white king outside.
Great operation on the Black's left side of the Board !!

In the commentary above, in the analysis after 29. Rd1, GM Gustaffson gives a much stronger line for black, 29...Rg1+ 30. Kd2 Rg2 31. Qe3 Rxf2+ 32. Be2 Qa5+ 33. Qc3 Qf5 with a nice game for black

can you shut the photographers and media people up during the press conference ???

the audio is very unprofessional!
