| Nov-26-06 | | Karpova: Round 12, Kramnik leading 2-0 and Kasparov has the black pieces.
Another easy draw for Kramnik though the position after 33.Nc4 looks quite nice. |

 | | acirce: This game gave Kasparov one of his last realistic chances to try to reduce the score, but in spite of a relatively promising position he didn't manage to do anything with it. 31..Rc8! or 31..Qd6! would have kept the pawn and although it would still have been hard to win it would have been a good try. Time trouble for both players. |

| Nov-26-06 | | Fisheremon: Round 12 and Kramnik could play on 12th move 12. Qe2 and develop a very strong pressure on the king-side wing of Black, e.g. 12...b6 13. Bb2 Bb7 14. Rfd1 etc. |

Bareev: <But Kramnik messed up all their plans, he ran away. His physical preparation was excellent, thank God.> Bareev, Evgeny & Levitov, Ilya: "From London to Elista", Alkmaar, 2007, pages 144-145 |
