 | | Ulhumbrus: Perhaps Anand is following the dictum that the best way to draw is to play to win. |

 | | hedgeh0g: be4 now, perhaps |

 | | queenfortwopawns: I never knew that dictum. I once tried gazing pleadingly into the eyes of the seven year old Chinese kid. He calmly continued to emasculate me. |

 | | Domdaniel: <queenfortwopawns> - < He calmly continued to emasculate me.>
They teach 'em that at school. They're inexorable and they won't stop until every last one of us has been ... ah, snipped. |

| | hedgeh0g: Bxc6 bxc6 Rb7 maybe. |

| | Domdaniel: As Master Kung said, one way of not having a weak pawn on b7 is to have no pawn on b7. Though you'll still have a weak square. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: So White will establish a superior position and then politely offer a draw? |
|

| | queenfortwopawns: Taking the knight is more prudent if Vishy just wants a draw. |
|

| | Domdaniel: G'day, <An Englishman>-person. A draw would certainly be the rational outcome. It's always possible that Anand will choose to play on, just in case Shirov has been reduced to a mass of quivering protoplasm by previous games. |
|

| | queenfortwopawns: <Domdaniel> I highly doubt it - Anand has a gentler disposition than that. |
|

 | | WinKing: Yep should be a draw before the move 40 time control. |
|

| | Domdaniel: < reduced to a mass of quivering protoplasm >
Which is also, btw, why I think the best chess is OTB. You need to smell the fear. |

| | Domdaniel: <queenfortwopawns> Show me the gentle bits in game #5. Or its predecessors. |
|
Jun-05-11
| | hedgeh0g: Both players exhibiting some cute tricks to try and seize the initiative. |
|
Jun-05-11
| | queenfortwopawns: <Dom> If Shirov had won game 5, he'd have had a chance to draw equal. Given now its out of the question, I doubt Anand would reject a draw offer. |

| | hedgeh0g: Rc7 Ra2 shake hands. |
|

| | unununium: <hedgeh0g: Rc7 Ra2 shake hands.> Na, Shirov goes for the mate attack! |

| | An Englishman: Good Evening: Quite the impressive display by Anand. As usual, his ability to win with Black against this level of competition continues to amaze. |

 | | Administrator: Thanks to everyone for watching the Anand-Shirov match with us. Congratulations to World Champion Anand on a superb performance. We will be covering more live games in the near future. Hope you will be able to watch some of them with us. |
|

| | Domdaniel: <queenfor2p> You're right, Shirov was the one trying to squeeze something out of nothing. He plays quite solidly with Black, but his White game seems to have become Anand-fodder. |
|
Jun-05-11
| | Domdaniel: Matches good. Matches the future. |
