World Chess Championship (Game 2)

Post by AdminX »

Well I don't know about you, but here is what I expect to happen as far as Kramnik is concerned. I expect Kramnik to be pretty much Kramnik. That is as Black I expect him to play in a fashion similar to how he played in the Fritz Match. I think he will try to simplify the position at every opportunity he is given to do so.

That said, it will be on Anand to make sure he does not give Kramnik those opportunities. Did I tell you how nice it is so sit on the sidelines, because we all know that some things are easier said than done. Anyway who knows what will happen? Kramnik just might surprise us today. I just don't think he will. 8-)

I think they both will play safe trying to get the other to
screw up. When one wins a game or two than the games will
get very interesting.

Best to you,

Lets just hope we get to see some very good tactics in this game. Both have prepared very well for this championship and hope there are no blunders in any of the matches between these two.

I find it funny how Shredder is the Official program of this event, yet they are talking about the analysis of Fritz. :lol:
