  ketchuplover: rats :(
Dec-09-10  ajile: THIRD!!!!!!!!
Dec-09-10  Marmot PFL: Looks simple, unless black moves his rook off the h-file.
Dec-09-10  queenfortwopawns: fourth
Dec-09-10  queenfortwopawns: and fifth

beat that

Dec-09-10  Marmot PFL: only 3 pawns left and 2 are soon lost. time to resign
Dec-09-10  Wild Bill: Thank you, CG.

It's already time for Kramnik to hoist the white flag.

Dec-09-10  technical draw: Naka better not even think of moving his rook of the h file (for now).
Dec-09-10  technical draw: Also don't even think of taking the h pawn with king...
Dec-09-10  Marmot PFL: Either knight move is fine just clear the path for the a-pawn
Dec-09-10  turbo231: fifth!
Dec-09-10  Kinghunt: <It's already time for Kramnik to hoist the white flag.>

Given that Nakamura's already hoisted a red flag, I don't think Kramnik can get away with a white flag.

Dec-09-10  Ulhumbrus: Kramnik has set Nakamura a trap: 49...Kxh4?? 50 Rh5+! Rxh5 51 gxh5 and the h pawn can't be stopped.
Dec-09-10  turbo231: No. Sixth!
Dec-09-10  technical draw: McShane beats Short!
Dec-09-10  turbo231: <technical draw: McShane beats Short!>

Didn't he beat Carlsen yesterday? 6 points now?

Dec-09-10  Marmot PFL: I just love Shane!
Dec-09-10  whiteshark: Where is the Kramnik of the old days?
Dec-09-10  Marmot PFL: To play on longer would be embarassing
