Nov-11-10		chessgames.com: Let us thank you in advance for participating in today's live broadcasts. Tomorrow's round starts at the same time (7am USA/Eastern) -- hope to see you all back for more.

Nov-11-10		Strongest Force: I dont blame Nak for going for a quick draw because Hao is one scary dude...from his chess skills down to his zombie-like gait

Nov-11-10		tpstar: 11. Nc3 more common than 11. Ne5 = Opening Explorer One database game with 11. Ne5 Nh5 = Polugaevsky vs Averbakh, 1963

Nov-11-10		tamar: These guys draw with each other 2/3 of the time. Probably the case again.

Nov-11-10		Chessgames Bookie: So you think this game is going to be a draw? Put your chessbucks where your mouth is with our special in-game betting proposition: Tal Memorial Rd 6: Gelfand-Kramnik IN GAME BETTING Betting closes in 30 minutes. In the event that the game ends before then, all bets are off.

Nov-11-10		Ulhumbrus: White has the bishop pair, and stands the better because of it.

Nov-11-10		tamar: Can I bet it will end before then :-) I'll give you odds.

Nov-11-10		Ulhumbrus: One possible plan for White is to play f3 and e4

Nov-11-10		tpstar: Kramnik is extremely proficient on the White side of the Catalan so it's interesting to see his set-up against it, notably 8 ... c6 & 9 ... b6. Then 11 ... Nh5 12. Be3 Nhf6 13. Bf4 Nh5 was an invitation to repeat the position. White avoided 25. Nxa4? Bxe1 26. Rxe1 Nb4 & 27 ... Nc2 winning the exchange.

Nov-11-10		Marmot PFL: 3...Bb4+ is very popular now to force white to misplace his QB which would rather be fianchettoed like the KB. It still doesn't look too happy on e1.

Nov-11-10		Marmot PFL: Kramnik finished his water, now off to the restroom.

Nov-11-10		Marmot PFL: f3, g4, Bg3 might be the plan for the QB.

Nov-11-10		malthrope: <Ulhumbrus: I have had a look at page one of the kibitzing pages of the Shirov - Aronian game. The 4th post from the top is from <whiteshark> while the fourth message from the bottom is from <MindCtrol9>. How is your message placed relative to these? Or is there some particular way to see a message addressed only to me?> The 4th post on page 1 on the Karjakin-Grishick game I left you a follow-up post in responce to what you said in the previous Shirov-Aronian game which had already changed over (to the Karjack-Gris game). Comprehend? :) Link: Karjakin vs Grischuk, 2010 Regards, - Mal

Nov-11-10		tamar: Whew I think I won the bet.

Nov-11-10		moronovich: The players have just agreed to a draw (moverepet)Nc3,Na4,Nc3,Na4 and so on ½-½

Nov-11-10		Ulhumbrus: <malthrope: <Ulhumbrus: I have had a look at page one of the kibitzing pages of the Shirov - Aronian game.

Nov-11-10		malthrope: <Ulhumbrus: <malthrope> Yes, I have seen the message now. So you were actually there, to see Fischer in action.> That is correct. :) You can read about in my 'Profile' in the section "Tribute to the 11th WCC GM Robert J. Fischer" where I talk about it. The upcoming story <"My Day with Bobby"> will be coming soon to be published on the Internet for all to read and enjoy! ;) Best Regards, - Mal

Nov-11-10		whiteshark: Sucking dry position at the end.
