Refused: I assume he meant the final round.
But there the problem was more like Kramnik felt like he would need a win with the black pieces, if he had known, that Carlsen would lose his last round encounter, too. Well, woulda coulda shoulda etc. On a more topic related note.

Refused: Kinda surprising, if it was Anand's decission to part ways with Kasimdzhanov. He is (one of) the best opening experts around, he is a great asset to any team. Just ask the German Team that captured the European Championship back then. One of the things they all can agree on is the ...

Refused: Nice to see Grischuk having some nice results thus far in this event. 3.5/4 against Cheparinov, Morozevich, Timofeev and Vitiugov. Just shows, how insanely strong the Candidates in London really was, when Grischuk finished with -1 there.

Refused: <xanadu: I do not use computers for analyzing, but 11...f6 does not look good to me. Black has lower development, then perhaps must wait by playing Be6.> Hum from white's pawn structure it looks a bit like French-Defense to me. There f7-f6 is pretty much a standard move to ...

Refused: <Fusilli: <Marmot PFL: < 50. g6 looks like a fairly elementary mistake. Does anyone know if Aronian was in time-trouble by this point?> He might have been, or else if he couldn't win decided that a loss and a draw were the same to him so roll the dice.> Why do you ...

Refused: At least his comments at the press conferences are easily the most entertaining. I found it Funny when he described round 5, and the situation with the two Gruenfeld Indians in that round.
"Ivanchuk was looking up at the demonstration board, staring at the wall as if he was waiting ...

Refused: In all fairness, there was backlash on the So fans reasonable (yes, they exist) and unreasonable alike.
So got quite some bashing for his last round short draw in Reykjavik. Which was probably way harder than for any other GM, because of the annoying and unreasonable (trolling) half
