World Chess Championship (Game 5)

[Dr.Wael Deeb]

Anand has choosen a sharp line in the Slavian Defence,he will push for a win here
Just look at the two aggressive bishops and the rook positioned on the g8 square....

Looks like there will be some real fireworks in this game.
Anand has a good attack going . See if it keeps up.

Definitely the black is risking keeping his king in the middle of the board,but....let's see what will happen,I prefer the black chances personaly....

Ted, has Kramnik played the 18th move? He sure is using a lot of his time here.

No, he is still thinking.

IMO this is a big gamble for Anand. Be intersting to see if it works.

Nxd4 seems to be risky, but Ok... definitely complicates Black's position,

Well, it worked once for Anand in Game 3, so why not try again! He seems to have surprised Kramnik yet again. Would be interesting to note the remaining time for both.

He has already won by the amount of thinking time Kramnik is spending on his reply. Still waiting for whites 18th move.

Time: White 1:05 - Black 1:53

Interesting move - Nxd4... Let's see if Kramnik plays it. I am sure he is analyzing it at the moment along with some other candidates - Rfc1, a4, etc.
