  Sneaky: Let LTJ have his fun. It's such a crazy position there's very few opinions that I would say are clearly wrong.

Apr-24-12  LoveThatJoker: WOW, Kramnik's position is so strong that he could even sac the exchange with advantage!

  lost in space: Kramnik lost a bit of his advantage after 30. Re8+ (instead of the winning 30. Qb5). Fortunately are all humans, including Kramnik.

Apr-24-12  vovan47: 34. Qe5
Apr-24-12  LoveThatJoker: <lost in space> Kramnik still has a won game, man!

1-0!

GREAT GAME, CHAMP! You deserve the win!

Where are all Aronian's groupies, now? Comforting themselves with a 2L tub of rocky road ice cream and Seal.

DON'T CRYYYYYY, my baby. Don't CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Apr-24-12  solskytz: after ... Rd6 . Qe5+ totally immoblizes the rook. Then after c4 I really don't see what black can do

  Domdaniel: Black's in disarray and almost out of time. You can stop gloating now, LTJ.

  Ulhumbrus: One plan for Black is ...f6 to keep White's queen out of the square e5 followed by the manoeuvre ...Nb7-d8-f7-e5. Aronian has however played his rook to f6.

  boz: I don't have the impression Kramnik followed anybody's advice but his own. A brilliant and original player.

I agree. Still Qb5 was stronger. Do you agree? Do you agree that Kramnik is human? If so we agree completely.
