Hot Logic: I'm probably going to get kicked out of Chessgames.com in disgrace for asking this question - but could someone please tell me the winning line after 20...Kxh6?

| |
|

| |
|
Hot Logic: To be fair the player might be from a country where it is 'immoral' for women to play chess with men, or in public, or it's just illegal to play chess period. So I'm not too surprised this happened in the olympiad. Another possibility is that the losing player was no great chess ...

Hot Logic: Ivanchuk really had to work for the win here but he got it in the end.

| | Oct-29-08 Anand vs Kramnik, 2008
| |
|
Hot Logic: <Rawprawn> Anand needs to unhang his own queen first. Whilst trading queens would be good for Kramnik's position it would be bad for his ability to create complications with chances for a win.

Hot Logic: Egg. Sorry about that, I didn't see the second post because it was on the next page and I got excited when I saw the smothered mate.

| | Oct-21-08 Anand-Kramnik World Championship Match (2008)
| |
|
Hot Logic: <bramdas> I think Kasparov wrote that each WC is a product of his era and talked about Kramnik in terms of "How are your shares doing?" <MikeA99> Zing! nice one :)
