Aug-04-08		thathwamasi: Word is that Anand could have pressed for a win, but since a draw was enough to win, he preferred not to trouble the already tired kid. And more so, 3-0 would have been a real bad score for Magnus. I don't if this true, but knowing Anand, this is a realy possibility.

Aug-05-08		Udit Narayan: Anand is a real gentleman. Furthermore, he and Magnus are good friends.

Aug-05-08		DeltaHawk: I really hope not there is a controversy because Carlsen is not playing his true rating.

Aug-06-08		VaselineTopLove: Where is the win here for White? How could Anand have pressed on?

Aug-15-08		hamham: <VaselineTopLove> He could have pressed on for a win. That doesn't mean there is a won position here. Re-read please.
