I think this line is drawn...Rybka maybe does not understand the endgame of B+2P vs. R+P perfectly. Or maybe, it is me that does not understand.Anil wrote:Time control reached with 40 moves. One more hour to each player now.
May or may not be a draw!

Agreed. Its nice to see engines say things like -0.4 in drawn positions sometimes...humans still have something useful to addmichiguel wrote:61273876 13 113.0 -0.40 Rf2-b2 Rc3-c2 Rb2xc2 b3xc2BubbaTough wrote:Looks drawish maybe? 41. Rb2 Rc2 42. RxR for example?

True Uri. Its also not completely clear Anand is the number 1. But they are both darn good, and I find it mildly annoying how quickly we went from people predicting victory for Kramnik before the match, to talking about how bad he is, and how he has been going down hill for a long time after a few losses to a mighty opponent.Uri Blass wrote:No evidence that kramnik is the second best player in the world?BubbaTough wrote:Looks like it might end up in a pleasant endgame for Kramnik.

There are many strong players with similiar strength
Alexander Morzevich,Vassily Ivanchuk and Magnus Carlsen may be better than both anand and kramnik(at least they have higher fide rating)

Hehe, nice one Yasser. Yes, for all the worship of Rykba I see (much deserved of course) Rybka is still missing much useful knowledge and really does need a human helperAnil wrote:I really hope Anand gets 43. Bxe6 and then a draw.
Rybka said -0.4 but Fritz stated -1.42 in Yasser's comp when he played 43. Bf1 to avoid Rb1 check. And Yasser said that Rybka should catch up with Fritz!!!!
