World Chess Championship (Game 8)

[Anil]

This game seems to be very interesting. Anand fully into the attack. Kramnik has opened Anand's king side... so Anand may not castle (Winning chances for Anand!!! maybe). Kramnik playing relatively fast (though he maybe out of his opening preparation).

[Anil]

Anand taking just 4 mins for 12 moves... Kramnik almost 30 mins and now in deep thought before his 13th move.

[Norm Pollock]

Just a side note on notation. This has nothing to do with the game itself.

White's 11th move is not ambiguous so there is no need for "dis-ambiguity" notation. The Knight on c3 is pinned to the King. Simply "Nxb5" would have been enough.

What are you referring to? The highlight of the last move? Please be a little clearer.

[Norm Pollock]

I am referring to the 11th move by white.

I am referring to the 11th move by white.

What about it? Are you talking about my comment?

[Norm Pollock]

I am referring to the 11th move by white.

What about it?

It was written as "Ndxb5" when it should have been written as "Nxb5" because the other knight on c3 was pinned to the King, and only the knight on d4 could legally take the piece on b5. Disambiguity notation should only be used (I think that is the pgn specification) when there IS ambiguity.

I was referring to the scoresheet, not your comment.
