Thanks for the link! It's updated much faster!

You are welcome. First game seems to be a draw. Good for Anand with black, I guess.

Yep. Karmink with white looks to be a draw.

Ted, updates please. No more moves on Playchess and ChessOK. Have they agreed to a draw?

Edit: After a long time (very, very deep endgame calculation), Kramnik played 24. e5

So much for Analysis from Shredder in this game. I guess Rybka will just have to do ...

Ted, updates please. No more moves on Playchess and ChessOK. Have they agreed to a draw?

Edit: After a long time (very, very deep endgame calculation), Kramnik played 24. e5

Yes, they are still playing, no draw yet. I pretty sure it will be however.

Ofcourse, I notice opposite coloured Bishop.. the game almost always end in draw.
