I thought Kramnik had chances in the second game, but once he lost a Pawn, the draw became inevitable.
Hi Dan….I also thought at one stage the game was his game! and Anand (my favourite of course) was again clever… 🙂
What a rout this has turned out to be !!! Out of the first 6 games, Anand has won 3 and drawn 3, to take a commanding 4.5-1.5 points lead. He now needs just 2 ponts from the remaining 6 matches to
defeat Kramnik convincingly.
Kudos to Vishwanathan Anand for a superb display.
Hi Carlos! Welcome here and yes! I don’t think Kramnik has any chance! Anand was my favourite right from the start and still is! I think he’s brilliant. For Granmasters in this stage to catch up, I don’t know, Kramnik will have to be really good to win this one!
Hi Nikita!
Me another uber GM from India 😉 (kidding… about being GM). Obviously I’m happy about Anand leading by such margins. But how come you not support Kramnik? That sexy 🙂 Rus nick of yours is borrowed or something? Anyway, kisses … 😉
hi Roy!
Welcome to my blog… 🙂 you think Kramnik sexy!LOL! no, Anand is my favourite! he’s just brilliant too!
