Is the stage empty now? I heard on playchess that there's no one in both the chairs?

No, they are now both seated at the board.

Well at least Kramnik is spending more time at the board. Compared to yesterday that is.

Just as I had expected, Black wants to trade, trade, trade. Every good chance that he gets.

The game is a booooring draw game,my very early prediction of course
They are playing a very solid and boring chess,lines known and analysed deep to the bones....
