Tie-breaker blitz...

Am I the only one that feels that these games are much more enjoyable to watch live?

I know I'm crap at chess, so maybe that's why I can relate more to these type of games than regular ones.

Computer shows between +0.7 - +1.0 in Kramnik's favor - and in my experience for such positions this is enough for victory. So, indeed ,doing best moves Kramnik is on the road for a win

1-0! Yay!

The right result even if it was the wrong format (rapid? PFFT!). Congratulations to the STILL World Champion!

HAIL KRAMNIK, THE WINNER AND NEW UNIFIED WORLD CHAMPION!!!

Huzzah! and many congratulations to Kramnik who succesfully defended his title.

Edit: and took over the fide title making him our first unified champion in 13 years!

Kramnik wins!

Wow, was that forced at the end? I couldn't see a way for Kramnik to force the issue and next thing I know Topov gave him a free rook!

good on ya lad!
