Yeah sure... with dying seconds on your clock?..... I don't think so!

Looks like black could resign here.

40.f4 was a strong move, avoiding any tricks on the kingside.

Kramnik can now play Ra3 and Bc7 which should win him the a-pawn and give him an easy win in the endgame.

Haha... ok what would you have done. Not put all the pressure on black's one and only chance at this game???

If Kramnik can still lose this game, it must be a big conspiracy by both Kramnik/Topalov to fool the whole world!

f4 was necessary to avoid any ideas of a perpetual by black, wasn't it Mr. Tebb? Now white is cruising.

It's over. I think Topalov's next move should be to move away from the table... and into Danialov's loving arms.

It is indeed over, 1-0.

Well, that was yet another satisfying game! A game very well played by Kramnik. He sure has a nerve of steel... very calm under time pressure. So now back to even!... and only two games left. This is getting better by the minute!

Yes, but if it goes to a blitz shootout, it strongly favors Topalov.
