Just in per Yasser Seirawan:

Dew to some crazy ruling by FIDE. The colors will be reversed in the second half of the match. Which means that Kramnik will be black for games 6 and 7.

PS: Karpov will be making the Opening move for Anand today.

Is this the first time this has happened? I don.t understand it at all.

What's all this new stuff? For publicity, I suppose (and hopefully not controversy).

Was all this a part of schedule or just ad hoc?

Both seem to like the opening today... playing very fast moves. But, Kramnik seems to be taking some more time (much less than in the last few games). Anand - super fast, seems to be very well prepared.
