Black has burnt his boats with Ra8-a5-h5.
Game on. This won't end in a draw.
(unless it's a sac-sac perpetual....says greenpawn covering his bet.)
I'm watching it on here:

Joined 28 Apr '09 Moves 44296 Very interesting game! Draw indeed not the likely result...
I'm so pleased it's not another English - does anyone apart from me find 1. c4 tedious in the extreme?

He played 26.Rdc1.
I was looking at 26.Rg1 with ideas of later saccing the Queen with Rxh5.
That B2 Bishop is hitting some juicy black squares.
1.c4 came be tedious - but in the hands of an imaginative player....
It's the same with every opening.
Gelfand has 22 minutes left - Grichuk 5.45

Now that isn't going to happen, is it? Who'll stump up £1 mill, or $1 mill, or €1 mill, or even one million bottle tops for that match?

Joined 06 May '08 Moves 42492 Israel might take it on. If not they can come round my house and play.
I'd like to to see it take place in Geneva. Then I could write;
Gelfand and Anand are shaking hands in Switzerland.

Gelfand and Anand are shaking hands in Switzerland. Why not in England? Even more assonance, and it means there will be something interesting happening there next year.

Grischuk failed. They should abondon these blitz tiebreaks ... this is classical chess ... not blitz.
I'm looking forward to the Anand-Gelfand match.
Joined 31 May '10 Moves 1772 Wow!!!! What a match. Gelfand kept his nerves calm and got the full point. I can't wait to read the interview that I'm sure will appear in NIC (New In Chess).
I thought for sure it would be blitz for the victory after the 18 move draw followed by another draw in game five.
Gelfand has earned his shot at the title. Are you guys sure it was Grishuck's plan to draw and then win on blitz games?
Congrats to Gelfand and good chess to him when he squares off against the champ.
