 | | Hesam7: Very impressive play from Kramnik. Does anybody know the time control of this game? |

 | | tamar: < Does anybody know the time control of this game?> I don't know specifically, but Dortmund 1995 played under classical time controls. Kramnik notes that Short's move
21...Rad8?! came under time pressure.
He gives some 3 nice alternatives that also lose, of which I quote 2: 21...Ba6 22 Nf4! Bxf1 23 Nxg6!! fxg6
24 Be6+ Kh8 25 Qxg6 and Black has no defence
Or 21...Bh6 22 Bxe6! fxe6 23 Qg6+ Qg7
24 Qxh5 Bxg5 25 hxg5 |
 |
| Oct-29-05 | | Poisonpawns: A brilliancy from Kramnik 22.Bxe6!! is worth checking out. |

| Oct-08-10 | | Whitehat1963: What happens on 25...Ke8? |
 |

 | | Sastre: If 25...Ke8, then <26.Qxh5+ Nf7 27.Nfxe6 Bf6 28.Nxd8 Kxd8 29.Rfe1 (29...Qf8 30.Ne6+)>. |

| May-14-12 | | ChessMystery: Why 8...g6?Can anyone explain? |
 |
| May-14-12 | | LoveThatJoker: <ChessMystery> Here is what Kramnik has to say of 8...g6, "Black effectively gives up the fight for complete equality, which could have been initiated by 8...c5." - Kramnik from "Kramnik: My Life and Games"

I'm confused. Does the Guess-the-Move game automatically post your performance? I keep seeing these pop up all over the place. |
 |
| Jul-14-12 | | LoveThatJoker: <tonsillolith> I like to post them on the games so as to publicly establish what my score was. G-T-M does not automatically post them.
