Hey Anil,
Is Kramnik at his seat?
Cheers,

[Terry McCracken]

Then Nb5! looks good for Kramnik.

Kramnik never played it. Maybe you should take his place?

Surprisingly, he is and Anand is out somewhere!

Anand waited for some time after playing Kf8 waiting for Kramnik's reply (when both were at their seats). But, then after some time Anand left!

[VP]

Hold on I am getting a call.. hey its Anand.
I just told him to advance the f5 pawn in the next couple of moves to relieve pressure

[Anil]

Ok. When I finished typing and editing the above msg, Anand came back.

Time remaining (in mins):

Kramnik 37 = 49 Anand

Interesting end game.

[Terry McCracken]

Good move by Kramnik - Anand's last move could cost him the game - Na5 was better and probably holds the draw.

Why do you make comments like this? Do you think you know better than Anand?

Na5 isn't better.

Dear Terry and Jack Lad/McMad, I request you not to bring your disputes into this thread. Please.

Terry, I see that you get real bugged when McMad comments anything in CCC.

Of course I'm bugged! He comes into this thread making outrageous claims!

He talks as if he knows top level chess and boasts, when in reality he brings nothing but uninformed comments.

I find that very annoying and rude and it doesn't add to the game in any way shape or form.

now that does it!!

It was actually Kramnik in Anand's disguise. Now he is going to advance the f pawn
