Re: World Chess Championship (Game 10)
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.Terry McCracken wrote:Well, I think he's lost now...he needs a miracle!rlsuth wrote:Wow, c4 just looks so wrong. I wonder if Anand is trying to lose this?

Re: World Chess Championship (Game 10)
Good play by Kramnik - 26...c4? was a blunder and Anand is now lost in a hopeless position.

Re: World Chess Championship (Game 10)
Congrats to Kramnik - perhaps Anand blundered in time trouble as he probably could have held the draw.
