| AlekhineViaOuija: I like Kramniks idea and I think the match tournament should be expanded to include Leko and Kramnik himself, as in New York 1927. Should any other players be included? I posted an article about this at

Oct-19-04 Kramnik vs Leko, 2004
| |
| AlekhineViaOuija: So Kramnik retains his title in a drawn match. We sure have had a lot of these results in Chess history, have we not? I think Leko missed his only chance when he failed to take the a5 pawn followed by retreating with Bb5. There seem to be several lines where Kramnik can win |

Oct-14-04 Kramnik vs Leko, 2004

| AlekhineViaOuija: Although this result of this game was nothing more than a repeating of 16 moves of known theory, I found it more interesting that it appeard to be because of Lekos deep think at move 16. I posted my take on it at http://cartermobley.com/Game_9:_Dra... |

| AlekhineViaOuija: I have posted some light analysis and my take on this game at http://cartermobley.com/Game_7:_Dra... I think Leko was wise to offer a draw after axb6. Does anybody else think it would be good match stretegy for Kramnik to play something other than e4 in game 8? Leko seems ... |
