I'd like Anand to win too, but it's premature at this stage to say Kramnik is now lost.Jack Lad wrote:Black is now lost - Kramnik should have played 19...a5! instead inorder to have any chance of holding the draw.
Although, the match may be for Kramnik. Two down and we're halfway through the match after this game.

Anand might just win this match... with so much pressure on Kramnik and time trouble (again!)

Kramnik will have to fight to draw at this point if Anand stays cool.

Re: World Chess Championship (Game 6)
Bd2 is correct... as Bc3 is a Blunder. But, no new moves on playchess now (again)
25. Bc3 Nexc3
26. bxc3 Rxc3
27. g5 Rxa3
White losing 2 pawns.
