Congrats, Boris!

May-25-11  kudubux: Grischuk's novelties are only prepared for faster time controls. Too bad he won't be able to use them.

Congratulations Gelfand!

May-25-11  BobCrisp: <Grischuk>'s match strategy finally exposed its dark side. He went down with a whimper.

If this match is anything to go by, <Anand> won't have much to fear.

  tpstar: Congratulations to Gelfand for winning in regulation. =)

Grischuk's time management finally caught up with him.

May-25-11  Udayan Chawdhary: The better player won.

  Domdaniel: Maybe Gelfand can be the new Korchnoi. Not that there's anything wrong with the old one, I hope.

  lost in space: yuuuhu huuuuuuu, no draw.

I am so happy that the one who tried to play chess made a big point.

The next game will be (once again) thrilling - and I hope Gelfand will be the ONE

  Gypsy: A thing that really impresses about Gelfand: He always over-performs (rating- and ranking wise) in the biggest of events.

  Ulhumbrus: An alternative to 16...Ra8-a5 is to begin a plan to attack White's centre by ...c5 or by ...e5 or both eg 16..Nd8 or 16...f6

<Gypsy> always exaggerates...

A tea-totaler method of being inebriated. (The World is brighter that way.)

  patzer2: Congratulations to Gelfand. With all the talk about the youth revolution taking over the top echelons of Chess, perhaps Gelfand and Anand can provide a high quality match and prove to the world that 40 year old players are not yet over the hill geezers.
