Oct-20-05  EmperorAtahualpa: 26...Nxd4! Nice.
Oct-27-05  Unicornio: Is McShane a 2000 player??? what kind of move was that?? even i saw that double check

The only game Kramnik didnt draw and was because of giant blunder..

Oct-28-05  Queens Gambit: The sad part is that Kramnik earned like 4 points from this tournament,but i dont worry since next tournament he will loose rating points fro sure like he has been doing for the last 5 years.
Oct-28-05  notyetagm: <Queens Gambit> Hard to lose rating points when your opponent insists on you gaining them, as McShane does here.
