Good move by Kramnik - Anand's last move could cost him the game - Na5 was better and probably holds the draw.

Why do you make comments like this? Do you think you know better than Anand?

Na5 isn't better.

Dear Terry and Jack Lad/McMad, I request you not to bring your disputes into this thread. Please.

Terry, I see that you get real bugged when McMad comments anything in CCC.

Good one

You people really know how to tick off others and ruin the enjoyment of the game
