Surprising! On PlayChess Qe2 was played before seen on Foidos! So, that would mean a delay in Foidos (to actual live) of around 5-10 seconds at least.

Good move by Kramnik - Anand's last move could cost him the game - Na5 was better and probably holds the draw.

Already played on PlayChess!

But, Anand's 17. .. Rd3, cost him around 0.4 pawn in Rybka 3's eval.

Now, the variation shown by Rybka 3 is
19. Nb5 Qe3 20. Qxe3 Rybka3_8cpu (0:00.14)+0.46|d17
