 | | VargPOD: Why Bxc5? Nxc5 looked much better. |
 |
| Jan-22-10 | | Knight13: White's faster, though. |
|
Jan-22-10
 | | sofouuk: <Marmot PFL> guess so. 47 ... Bxc5??, on the other hand ... |
|

 | | chessic eric: VanWely will also have to give his bishop up on d8, at which point we'll have a draw methinks - not sure yet whether king position will tell once down to two pawns (a&e) and a knight each. |

 | | Ulhumbrus: On 49 Kxc5 Kg4 50 Nd6! wins eg 50..Nxd6 51 Kxd6 Kg3 52 Kxe5 Kxg2 53 Kxf4 or 50...Nb6 51 Nf5 keeping Black's King out |
|

| | chessic eric: 49.Kxc5!? |
|
| Jan-22-10 | | Knight13: 49...Kg4 if White shoots 50. Nd6 then ...Nb6 |
|
Jan-22-10
 | | Hesam7: van Wely blundered again with 47. ... Bxc5? now Kramnik is winning. |
|
Jan-22-10
| | chessic eric: Kramnik Kingwalk |
|
| Jan-22-10 | | Knight13: K so now ...Nxd7 then ater ...f3 go Nd3 and now White wins because of that d4 pawn. |
|
| Jan-22-10 | | Marmot PFL: The white knight gets back vis d3, then a4-a5 kicks the black knight. |
|

| | Hesam7: :) the knight fork at the end is brilliant! |
|
Jan-22-10
| | chessic eric: so white's knight has to check the king and promoted queenon e3, at which point the white e-pawn promotes - but what if VanWely promotes to a knightto stop the check? |
|
Jan-22-10
| | VargPOD: Hooray! Nice win for Kramnik. Thanks again to <chessgames.com> for switching to this game. |
|

 | | whiteshark: The unsupported Black Knight isn't that strong. |
|
Jan-22-10
| | Ulhumbrus: 56...f2-f1/Q 57 Ne3+ Kg1 58 Nxf1 Kxf1 59 e5 and wins |
|
| Jan-22-10 | | Knight13: <chessic eric: so white's knight has to check the king and promoted queenon e3, at which point the white e-pawn promotes - but what if VanWely promotes to a knightto stop the check?> Then White's e-pawn goes "HAHA you can't catch me!" and wins. |

| | Ulhumbrus: <chessgames.com> Are you going to broadcast any more games today? |
|
Jan-22-10
| | whiteshark: Ah, it's already over. Well done, Kramnik. |
|
| Jan-22-10 | | Marmot PFL: Good bookie day with Shirov to finally draw and Leko finally to win. Didn't bet this one as the odds on Kramnik were ridiculous. |
|
Jan-22-10

|
Jan-22-10
| | chessic eric: anyone know how to get a promotion other than a queen on the <CG.com> board? |
|
Jan-22-10
| | The Famous Chess Cat: <chessic eric: anyone know how to get a promotion other than a queen on the CG.com board?> Right click on the chess board, and there should be something that says "Pawn promotes into..." and click on that. |
|
Jan-22-10
