Joined 21 Feb '06 Moves 6830 There's a neat little trick in that line:
And White can't prevent Rd8 and Rh8 mate! (without losing his queen)
I feel really nervous about Gelfand's king, there are going to be lots of nasty traps to watch out for with it there.

I agree. Lots of chess played today. I'm exhausted just watching it. Almost 5 hours of intense thinking with no room for error.

Joined 06 May '08 Moves 42492 Super game.
I see Boris is going for the Qb7 idea I gave above. 😉
Joined 01 Feb '07 Moves 7819 It's over! Anand defended perfectly and got a hard fought draw.

His face told me he had it all worked out, he semed so peacefull the game was excelent.
Maybe he is a good actor and he was trying to convince Gefland to offer the draw.

Joined 25 Apr '08 Moves 3102 Interesting point made :-
One question to Anand: "Your wife seems to appear in the press center half a minute before the game ends. Does she have paranormal abilities to tell when this is going to happen?" Anand's answer: "I don't know how she does it."

Joined 01 Feb '07 Moves 7819 ...and it's over. The position looks drawish but I would have liked to see if Anand could break through the queenside after a3.
