The Sicilian Has Been Bust

Kramink has just beaten Anand in the following game.

About time too! 😠

After reading your post I gathered together the cream of Oxfordshire chess and we have poring over this game for several hours. We think we have found an improvement for Black - rather than delaying e6, could he not have played it a move earlier?

Well according to the press release this is the perfect Sicilian
with the best moves by each side.

I was just thinking...Pawn Riot is playing some of the guys from
RHP as White v a Sicilian - I wonder if he has seen the game.

12..Nd7 was an amazingly bad move, retreating a perfectly developed piece to a bad square (White wasn't even threatening f4, because his d4 knight would be pinned). If Black had played almost any other move instead, he would have had a fine position.

These tries were bust on page 6 of the

Indeed. Wouldn't 12. ... Qxd4 have won immediately for Black?

Well spotted Dave - 12...Qd4 is a trap and Black losses as

I'm beginning to think this isn't a Kramnik vs Anand game at all. It's probably only two second tier Grandmasters like Short and Nakamura.

Kramniks dog is naff at chess.

I beat it 3-1 at blitz.

sorry i just can't do this.

Famous last words. 🙂

Who was it that said that? Was it General Custer?
On second thought, I think he said "These look like friendly Indians."
