Nov-22-11  bubuli55: With 36...Nxc6 Karjackin is good with a draw. And yet it went on to 40. I wonder if time control was a factor. Benefits of live games...

Nov-22-11  bubuli55: Oh I see. Thx < brokenstein > :)
Nov-22-11  bronkenstein: PS Nasty boys Kramnik and Anand drew their game in 36 moves - Anand vs Kramnik, 2011 (!) , but the judge didn`t have the guts to even mention it to them ... being (ex)WC certainly has some advantages =)

  AylerKupp: I looked at the Anand vs Kramnik, 2011 and it seemed like at least Kramnik was in a peaceful mood, offering the exchange of queens after 16...Qb4. And in the final position at move 36, with a symmetrical pawn structure and BOC, it would have been a foolish judge indeed (in more ways than one) to direct them that they must continue playing until move 40 before either of them could offer a draw.

While I applaud the intent of the no draws before move 40 rule, there needs to be some leeway for specific circumstances. I couldn't find the details of the rules in effect for this tournament but I'm assuming that draws by repetition and insufficient material before move 40 would be OK. Then again, nothing would surprise me.
