World Chess Championship (Game 3)

[Anil]

The time remaining on the clock now seems to be almost equal for both black and white. But, this too looks like a draw game now.

Point to note: White has 2 extra pawns on the board. Both pawns on A and B are passed pawns. May lead to trouble for Anand with clocks ticking down.

According to Rybka3_8cpu:

Is anyone from CCC or CTF in Bonn watching the games live? Any idea?

26. Kf1! by Kramnik seems to be a good proactive move avoiding check by Rg8. Threat seems to be Rg8 then either Bg2+ or Rg2 (most probably).

And still more audio from Yasser Seirawan 3

I have visualization problems with foidos. For example I can see only the word "Shredde", the final "r" is missing.
Anyone else with this problem during Foidos broadcasting?
Thanks
