Premium Chessgames Member		  MissScarlett: Will Kramnik turn up for Day 2?
Sep-23-23
Premium Chessgames Member		  Atterdag: So this is a repetition of the birthday gift, Ilya Levitov allegedly gave himself four years ago? A former president of the Russian Chess Federation. Explains why half of the participants are Russian?

What is this really?

Sep-23-23  fabelhaft: Given that Kramnik is 48 and Anand 54 in a few months, this could be the last time they face each other in an OTB event.
Sep-24-23  dehanne: Crazy the amount of disrespect for Kramnik in this tournament.
Sep-24-23
Premium Chessgames Member		  Check It Out: <dehanne> So you mean because players are beating him at a game of chess? Otherwise, I'm missing your point.
Sep-25-23
Premium Chessgames Member		  Atterdag: Okay, let's have a look at the Kramnik-Dubov game. We know that Kramnik joined the quire of Russians who heavily critisized Dubov for being part of the Carlsen team in the match vs. Nepo. Indicating a true Russian wouldn't do that and so forth.

So, perhaps Kramnik now saw the chance of lecturing the "traitor". Or perhaps not - I don't know, but I do know which decisions Kramnik made by the end of that game.

Kramnik's attack petered out, and at least after the 37th move, Kramnik was completely lost. 3 - three! - pawns behind in a worse, totally clarified position. Yet the Big Vlad decided to test Dubov's skills for seven more moves.

In my book that is disrespect for grandmaster Dubov, who at present 2710 rating would need less than 1710 rating to win that position, even against the mighty Kramnik.

Sep-26-23  SkySports: <fabelhaft: Given that Kramnik is 48 and Anand 54 in a few months, this could be the last time they face each other in an OTB event.>

Why? Smyslov and Gligoric (just as an example) were still playing each other in their seventies.

Gligoric vs Smyslov, 1994

Premium Chessgames Member		  MissScarlett: Lev and Shak agreed a non-aggression pact. Poignant.
Sep-27-23  fabelhaft: <Smyslov and Gligoric (just as an example) were still playing each other in their seventies>

In January it’s five years since Kramnik retired from classical chess and he plays online rather than OTB. Anand isn’t a particularly frequent participant in OTB events nowadays either. I don’t see them facilng each other in many more such tournaments, even if it’s certainly possible.

Sep-27-23
Premium Chessgames Member		  Atterdag: Many draws below 20 moves. Apparently there were no rules against this kind of conduct.
Sep-29-24  notyetagm: Damn. the very religious So must have HATED his score this tournament:

<+6 =6 -6>

Yikes!
