World Chess Championship (Game 8)

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.

Yeah, I too noticed it today. Kramnik plays a move and then goes away for a long time. Anand plays a move... Kramnik is still not there. Then he comes.... makes a move and again out of his chair. Cycle continues. May be Kramnik's method of playing has always been this way.

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

Position looks more or less equal. Rybka also says only +0.08 for Kramnik.
16... Qb6+ 17. Rf2 Kf8 18. Kh1 Kg7 Rybka3_8cpu (0:01.22)+0.08|d20

Only problem may be that Anand is taking more time than usual on his 13th-16th moves.

Please... not that controversy again. Who can ever forget that?

Where can I buy one of those "Toilet Computers"? Should I look at the toiletpc website?

I think most people was thinking of that.

Hope he is using Rybka.

It is a short draw in another six moves!
