| Jan-13-08 | | nescio: <Once again Kramnik also avoids the Bayonet Attack. I wonder what's going on?> Probably just a fashion change. What _is_ the Bayonet Attack? I wasn't aware that 9.Ne1 Nd7 10.f3 f5 11.g4 was popular again. |

| Jan-13-08 | | Resignation Trap: <nescio> The Bayonet Attack is where White plays 9.b4 immediately instead of 9.Nd2 as he did here. A memorable game with 9.b4 was Kramnik vs Kasparov, 1997 . |

| Jan-13-08 | | Gouki: Kramnik's fighting spirit in this game is simply amazing! one would have thought that he would have offered a draw at around move 40 or so. This is indeed, fighting chess :D ! |

| Jan-13-08 | | nescio: <The Bayonet Attack is where White plays 9.b4 immediately> Ah, Taimanov's move! He played it in 1956 at the Alyekhin Memorial, but there are already too many Taimanov variations, I suppose. |

| Aug-13-08 | | Everett: Kramnik pulls a Karpov and putters around for 30 moves in a drawn ending. |

| Oct-23-08 | | Cactus: Even if it is drawn, why not make Radjabov prove it? |
