Kramnik plays great today! :)

Anand is the one having time pressure today (20mn against 1h).

@Ted : Qd6 played

Yes, Terry I am sure of it. Kramnik is playing very fast now. It's clear to me he sees it.

Good play by Kramnik - 26...c4? was a blunder and Anand is now lost in a hopeless position. :(

I think Anand is going to tip his King very soon.

Kramnik played very well.

Congrats to Kramnik - perhaps Anand blundered in time trouble as he probably could have held the draw. :roll:
