I think Kramnik had it won. The Kf2 move gave him a 1.5+ advantage.

Well done champ.
LOL... no, I was supporting Kramnik all the time... I meant I missed all the action -- website froze on me! -- (just like steve), but am glad to know that Kramnik won it in the end!

So does this mean we don't have to listen to Los Angeles whining all the time???

I hope he leaves the site.

I usually don't particularly like d4 games, but I have started playing the Semi-Slav, so it was pretty interesting to see how they played it. Still, no e4 games!? Oh well, the matches were still good.

Yes, and hopefully Fide will manage the cycle and challenges well so it doesn't happen again.

And it had to be on a Friday 13th.. Interesting co-incidence!

EDIT: Even funnier, 2006-10-13 = 2+0+0+6+1+0+1+3 = 13 =)
Okay, this post was for the superstitous 😉
