 |
| May-15-11 | | mrsaturdaypants: Very fun game. I'm assuming that Kramnik missed a win, but maybe not. Grischuk might have missed one too, though I don't think so. (Short draws: bad. Draws like this: if you don't like them, you don't like chess. You might prefer Shogi, where captured pieces can come back onto the board.) |

 | | Clodhopper: Is Kramnick thinking of a win with 41 Qe5+, Qg7, 42 Qe1. If he can exchange pieces and Q-side pawns, he wins. |

Nervous or worried? |

 | | lost in space: Grishuck will win the match. Kramnick is simply too weak tactically. |

| | chancho: Qe5+ played. |
|
| May-15-11 | | SugarDom: With eternity on their clocks, it's a sure draw. Probably will end with a perpetual check by Kramnik... |

| | Jack Kerouac: Draw.
Carry on chess community.... |
|
| May-15-11 | | badest: This was an exciting game. I think that Grischuk's chances to win the match increased by moving on to the rapid part. |

| | Sokrates: What is he up to? After Qe1, Qd5 will also do it. |
|
May-15-11
| | chancho: I would not bet against Gris in the rapid or blitz.
Dude's too good. |

| | Jack Kerouac: The relief of the two participants in the post game analysis is interesting. |

| | lost in space: Drawnik-Drawshuck
draw
controlled offense
controlled defense
I am BORED, in a controlled way. I am leaving to Planet Claire were chess is played more a' la TAL |
|
| May-15-11 | | 14DogKnight: This was no boring draw. |
|
May-15-11
 | | parisattack: It was a 'fighting' draw at least. But this is a somewhat sorry Candidates so far. Unfortunately it is not as much the players as it is the state-of-the-game today. A Tal or a Fischer or a Kasparov or even/especially a Nimzovitch is sorely needed to give classical chess a boost. |
