Hurray!!! Yet another victory for Anand with Black! Kramnik muct be kicking himself (and later Leko) for playing this opening. :lol:
The opening wasn't his downfall, his blunder was. That's a very steep mountain he now has to climb.
He lost a LOT of time due to opening problem. We have to consider this.

Kramnik blundered under a time presure and lost....he was playing against a well prepared opening line and had to find solutions over the board....he lost....

It would be a very brave (or foolish ;)) person to bet against Anand winning this now. The big question, in my mind, is whether Kramnik will manage to stay in the match without completely falling apart.

Nice, exciting, enjoyable game. Thanks Ted for the live feed. See you tomorrow. Will check out the post game (press conference) video tomorrow at: http://www.chessvibes.com/match/world-c ... ith-black/
(Many videos at the end of the page)

Anand should now be on Top (Numero Uno) in the live rating list, overtaking Topalov [ELO 2791].

Yes,but I predicted Anand's win from the very begining of the game taking a quick look at the position....I know sharp positions when I see them over the board....
Kramnik has already fallen apart....it will take an iron will to turn up the match....

Ok but You could say Kramnik has no idea how to follow up the moves soon after he was out of the book.

We haven't seen a match like this since 2000 and even then it was White wins not Black wins!

Anand has prepared extremely well and is using his off days to win with Black as he's fresh for the fight!

Kramnik never saw this coming or could believe he could be out prepared with the Black Pieces and yet this was done by Anand I believe intentionally from day one!

It's best to pull all the stops when fresh and Anand's best days of course is starting with Black which normally is in favour for the other player, so now Anand has broken all the rules and made this the Match of the Century :!:
