Re: ARONIAN or KRAMIK?
THRILLING!!!
In this position, Kramnik just displayed a lots of guts and played Rxe3!!!
[d]4rk2/pp6/1b3pnN/2p5/RPP1pP2/3rB2P/6PK/4R3 b - - 0 31
Houdini sees it. What about your engine?

Re: ARONIAN or KRAMIK?
Yes, Kramnik chose e3, sacrificing the Ng6, and according to the commentators it's not the best move (they, and Houdini, chose Ne7 instead) :AdminX wrote:Complex position, Kramnik played 31. ... Rxe3JuLieN wrote:THRILLING!!!

So what now? Is the match finished on this drawish result? That's a very good result for Kramnik. The match was of very high level and the players really displayed some fighting spirit!

Re: ARONIAN or KRAMIK?
Perhaps some blitz games at the end ?
