well said. : )

This match's play has been interesting because anand got the lead. If it was kramnik who is in the lead, we will have a boring match coz kramink will keep on drawing

12...exf5 A very brave Kramnik! Bravo! No matter what happens, no one can say that Kramnik backs off from a tough fight. This is not a blunder. It is a playable move, just dangerous. This is what the chess fans want to see, two heavyweight champions not backing off an inch.

I also like g3 for white here, with the idea of Bg2 to follow at some point.

With Qe3, Anand might be going for Queen exchange and a draw.

But, Rybka says Anand lost his advantage (if any) with this move:
(13... fxe4 Rybka3_8cpu (0:00.39)+0.00|d16
May need better depth.

Are the 2 Bishops worth the black pawn structure here? Is there enough comp for black? I don't think so, not at this time control anyway.

I don't care for the white Queen being on the dark square at this time.

Still White is ok if he's careful.

Anand may also be planning to launch an attach on black's queen side by Qb6 and the knights and bishop coming into action.

The d5 square is glowing hot to me for a knight or rook from white. Looks like white has lots of good moves to choose from, even Bd3.
