| Apr-22-12 | | ivchoc: bd5 would have been good |
 |
Apr-22-12
 | | Octavia: 32 Rb7+ k m 33 NxP wouldn't work because of NxP+ |
|
Apr-22-12
 | | Marmot PFL: Even 34...Nxf3+ is playable 35 gf3 f5 regains the piece |
|
Apr-22-12
 | | waustad: 3 minutes to no rapid game. |
|
| Apr-22-12 | | znsprdx: znsprdx: wasn't 34.Nxc5 playable?winning everything? |
|
| Apr-22-12 | | hugogomes: Marmot, it would be nice if you posted number on the moves but you're wrong.
Nxc5 instead of 33.Rc7 doesn't work because 33.. Rxf2 wins a piece, not 32...Nxf3+ because then 33. Kg3! and it's white who is winning. |

 | | karnak64: Oh, yeah, that ... :) |

| | Marmot PFL: <Marmot, it would be nice if you posted number on the moves> I did, so you must have me confused with someone else. |
|
| Apr-22-12 | | Octal: 35 g4 followed by 36 Kg3 looks interesting. |
|
| Apr-22-12 | | Octal: Oh well nevermind. I guess this is a draw. |
|
Apr-22-12
| | Octavia: interesting draw |
|
Apr-22-12
| | Marmot PFL: A good defense by Kramnik. The game went long enough that he doesn't have to play rapid chess and can try to win with white tomorrow. |
|

 | | stunningmove: would have enjoyed 26. nxa7, only chance to avoid the draw |

| | waustad: Kramnik's daughter seems to be doodling on the score sheet. I wonder if he sells them like Ponmariov. |
|
| Apr-22-12 | | eternaloptimist: Thx cg for providing live coverage of this match!! |
|
| Apr-22-12 | | Blunderdome: In the postmortem, Daria Kramnik suggested that for Black's 23rd, he should place the captured white knight on c8. |
|

 | | Sneaky: <for Black's 23rd, he should place the captured white knight on c8.> Come again? |

 | | acirce: Great talent, that girl. Very creative. |
|
| Apr-22-12 | | BadKnight: when kramnik was reviewing the game with aronian she was scribbling on a paper that looked like scoresheet. |
|

 | | HeMateMe: I predict that both players are getting a healthy appearance fee, so no one will be crying. |
|
Apr-22-12
 | | Ulhumbrus: Kramnik succeeds in defending the Berlin wall as he did at the world championship match against Kasparov at London 2000 |
|
| Apr-22-12 | | Edeltalent: <napoleon123: anybody out there actually fancy playing the berlin? it doesnt tempt me.> Neither does it tempt me, but the big guys apparently like it because of it's subtlety and deep maneuvering. I remember Aronian (who normally plays it with black) saying that it's the king of endgames. |
|
Apr-22-12
 | | FSR: 37...Ra2!! Kramnik finds one of the 14 drawing moves in the position. |
|
Apr-22-12
| | FSR: I played the Berlin a couple of times around 1975, when I was rated 1600 or something. If you know what you're doing (I certainly didn't), it's a rock-solid opening. If I'd studied it, I wouldn't mind playing it against higher-rated players. |
