| Jan-17-04 | | Kenkaku: This is an amazing ending. When I watched it live I thought for sure it was drawn at certain points. |
 |
| Jan-17-04 | | Benjamin Lau: Would 66...Kf6 be any better? Zhong Zhang probably shouldn't have exchanged queens immediately with 42...Qa6. Kramnik is an amazing endgame player. I've seen him draw non queen endgames where he's down two pawns. |

 | | technical draw: I think ZZ's mistake was not getting rid of white's bishop when he had the chance (like at move 45). |
|
| Jan-18-04 | | Hidden Skillz: lol the end game was crazy.. kramnik simply outplayed him for the position.. |

 | | Calli: 28...Rd1? overworks the queen and 29.Nb5! forces BxN. |
|
| Jan-19-04 | | Gunnar Abelido: has anybody noticed white's dark colored bishop keeps on moving back to a1 and b2 like a pendulum. |
|
| Jan-19-04 | | euripides: If 66...Kf6 then 67 Be8 and if the knight moves then the h pawn falls; otherwise Bxg6 and Ke6 will follow. |
|
| Jan-20-04 | | Hidden Skillz: yes gunnar..kramnik did dat i think cos he had his pieces in good position n didnt wanna mess up his position.. |
|
| Jan-22-04 | | TrueFiendish: He had no positive plan at that point and was waiting for his opponent to go wrong. |
|
| Jan-25-04 | | KwanYew23: Wow,simply amazing.It is a King journey bear fruits!!! |
|
| Feb-03-04 | | AzN1337c0d3r: 68 ... Nxh4 would have drawn the game |
|
| Feb-08-04 | | MoonlitKnight: Kramnik may be a boring middlegame tactician, but he sure knows his endgame! |
|
| Feb-08-04 | | PinkPanther: <Moonlitknight>
When you're as dull as he is in the opening and middlegame you've gotta to be good in the endgame. He's gotta make his money somewhere...and the endgame is that place. |
|
| Feb-09-04 | | MoonlitKnight: I know. I'm still no fan of his. |

 | | crafty: 68... xh4 69. f6  f4 70. f7 g6 71.  a4 h4 72. c2  (eval 5.20; depth 19 ply; 500M nodes) |
|
| May-28-04 | | Helloween: Crafty clearly does not understand this ending: After 68...Nxh4 69.f6 Kf4 70.f7 Ng6 71.Ba4 h4 72.Bc2 Nf8 6.Ke7 h3 7.Kxf8 h2 the ending of + + vs + is drawn, as is the variation 71.Ke6 h4! 72.Bc8(72.Kf6 Ne5) h3 73.Kf6 h2. |
|
| May-19-05 | | aw1988: <acirce> This surely belongs in "Interesting Kramnik games". |
|
| Mar-17-07 | | Vollmer: How about 30...Qe7 . Knights vs Bishops after 31.Rxd8 Qxd8 32.Qxb5 . Probably still a win for White . |
