4 more pieces (queen, both rooks and knight) to be exchanged and then draw! :)

Rf2 saves the pawn on b2 and also acts as additional protection to pawn on g2. So, check by Q at this stage may not be worth it. Also, may be that's what Kramnik is/was hoping when he played f4.

Anand taking his time on this (15th) move. Looks like something's cooking in his mind!

Anand has to do something with his Queen. f4 limits his Queen and now it is in a bad position.

I think Kramnik should spend more time at the chessboard. If there is one thing that I have noticed it is the Anand spends more time at the table concentrating on the game than Kramnik has for the whole match so far.

I just love Anand's no Castle approach to this match!
