[S.Taylor]

9 moves in 3 mins for Anand.

in that case, it's no good!
He won't have time to find any brilliant possibilities which may become available.

Kramnik offered Draw and Anand accepted !!!

No! really?
And what if Anand had played Kg4 instead of Kg3?
Maybe it was a draw on the clock?

[Anil]

I got reconnected and suddenly all was over

The game was declared a draw! Ted can u plz post some of Anand's comments from the post-match interview (if u get it on Foidos)?

Alot of people in the press room were shocked that Anand accepted the Draw. They like the white position.

Well now I will go to lunch.
