And what if Anand had played Kg4 instead of Kg3?
Maybe it was a draw on the clock?
Playchess server info: the game ended in draw. Not sure if that's right.

Maybe they should enforce the no-agreed-draw rule.

I think they were both chicken. They could have both gone on much more, but it was too much work to work out all the dangers the whole time.

very good! Kramnik wanted the draw, and Anand went chicken (it looked like to me) Draw/nik Chick/and lol!

(Another thought was whether it was in fact wise that Anand did not exchange his bad bishop for Kramniks good knight, near the end). Soon I'll also be saying Good night! (8pm here)
