Feb-06-05		chesscookie: Why draw?

Feb-06-05		WillC21: Because neither side can make any progress without weakening their position.

Feb-06-05		aw1988: White has a dangerous looking army, but black is too solid. Hard to make progress.

Feb-06-05		csmath: It truly is a draw. White cannot afford to allow black to castle. On the other hand if Anand goes for 24. ... Qc6 25. Qxc6 ... Rxc6 26. b3 white will start moving pawns which does not look benign. On the other hand, having the lousy play Karjakin had in a sort of similar position in the game against Nakamura perhaps Anand should have tried for the win here. Well, he didn't feel like it is objective to do so.

Nov-25-11		frogbert: this game is rapid, like all the others from this event.
