What?

Kramnik was commentating that Anand has pressure on Black and a time advantage, and right there and then Anand offers the draw, which Gelfand of course accepts.

It's a draw....I've had a similar position against Bright a couple of days ago and I was playing with black and got the half point

I'll upload the games when I can....

Dr.- based on all the draws we see at the top levels today, ie here as well- it reminds me of the quote from Henrique Mecking:


"Only the young generation of fearless fighters can destroy the Fischer myth. You must not let him impose on you his style, which is like snake poison. The old-fashioned way, heavy with security devices, incessant tiptoeing on shallow waters of draws, offers no hope against Fischer." – Henrique Mecking


Quite appropriate, would you not think?

I have opinions of my own - strong opinions - but I don't always agree with them. (George Bush)
