Just in per Yasser Seirawan:

Dew to some crazy ruling by FIDE. The colors will be reversed in the second half of the match. Which means that Kramnik will be black for games 6 and 7.

PS: Karpov will be making the Opening move for Anand today.

Is this the first time this has happened? I don.t understand it at all.

I have no idea. I was just as surprised as you to hear it.

10. g4 and black's queen has very few safe squares.

10. g4 and black's queen has very few safe squares.

Queen being exposed in the middle may be bad for black.

Kramnik played Qa5

Playchess pretty slow today in displaying the moves being played. Other sites seem to be faster. Wonder why!?

Anyway, this game is becoming quite exciting... Kramnik playing very aggressively; not allowing Anand to castle.

What are the moves/variations that Shredder is basing its analysis upon for the current position?
