I predict Kramnik will draw (as he should have last time). However, he may try harder than usual and win brilliantly or crash and burn miserably. If he can keep confident and alert, he can definitely pull off a victory.

I believe (hope) Kramnik will win this game. He played very well in the past two games and had certainly winning chances. I hope he can stay focussed today!

The game starts in 45minutes!

I don't like the ending for Kramnik. I think Fritz will grind him down.

Should be drawn imo. Plus, Fritz is having time trouble.

What time trouble? They reached move 40 and this position is a dead draw.

Now Kramnik has to win at least two games out of the next three (and draw in the other) to get the million. It isn't very likely!

The only time I have seen Fritz lose on time was when there were other programs running on the computer. Chess programs generally never have time trouble.

Yep, when you have a chess program that looks at over 9 million positions per second, it isn't as if it can't think of a move when there are seconds to spare. 🙂

It will always come up with something (bar other applications running, as you said). Whether it is a good move or not within the limited time is another matter.

It looked like it on ICC, Fritz only had 5 minutes while Kramnik had 12 in a time control marked 120. The time was actualyl for the first control and was later updated at 40 moves. It also wasn't real time.

Kramnik can only not lose each game. he can't beat Fritz, only play defence, and if he makes one innacurate move...

I think we'll see e5 with either a Petrov or a Ruy Lopez Berlin.

The Petrov has indeed been used against 1. e4 leading to another draw.
