 | | Boomie: <Domdaniel: Those ten-second increments aren't enough to keep Gelfand from, well, going down ... in the art gallery, with the clock.> Dang. I bet on the conservatory with the candlestick. |

A delay?!
Do you have time to explain? |
|

 | | JenShahade: When I say holdable, I mean Black has chances to hold, not that it's technically a draw. I prefer increment to delay when I play because I find it less confusing and more intuitive but there are certainly arguments for delay. It's hard to plan round times, etc. when long games can drastically extend the expected game length. |

| May-30-12 | | KholdStare: Boris is in a decent position...as in not outright losing. Except! He has very little time... |

 | | spinal pat: Come on Boris, I've put my chessbucks on you! You can do it! |

increment = your time adds up
delay = it stays at 10 seconds |

 | | waustad: USCF tournaments are so often 1 or 2 days with many rounds a day, where FIDE are much more often RRs with 1 game a day. |

 | | Thanh Phan: Is this their longest game in the tournament? |
|

 | | VargPOD: Svidler: "We all know this is a draw. Only way for Boris to lose this is to blunder away a piece." |
|

| | saaki: anybody with tablebases? |
|
May-30-12
 | | Ulhumbrus: It begins to look like a draw |
|
May-30-12
| | JenShahade: Yes, the tension continues to tighten! These games are so thrilling and it's amazing how strong the play is considering stakes. |
|
May-30-12
| | waustad: Does tablebase go to 7 pieces? |
|
| May-30-12 | | KholdStare: Boris didn't see 64...Be2! That will mark the end of white's pawn and left with RB vs R ending which is definitely drawn. |

 | | ahmadov: I bet Anand did not expect such a match when he arrived to Moscow... |
|

| | waustad: 12 seconds now |

| | sorokahdeen: Svidler (speaking of Gelfand): "He will get tortured here for a while." |
