Always obey the wife!

Draw again.

Passed pawn(s) will decide imo.

I have to say, both games so far have been rather uninspiring. Obviously there's a lot at stake but neither side seems bent on taking any risks at all.

We need Sofia rules! Otherwise we might have no drawn game reaching move 40 or so...

That's easy. It's Palamar all the way, and I only make mention due to the usual problem - excessive forum banter.

Really enjoying Nigal's commentary on this match.

Watching replay BTW.

Perhaps you are spoiling it for yourself my looking at database during game. For me, I was on my own after a6 and found it fun.

I'm sure both players had a few landmines planted in that opening which they both avoided. At this level you're only gonna get fireworks if something is missed.
