I think that Kramnik has shown superiority consider that in reality he is at least a whole point ahead. He ought to have two more opportunities with white. but unfortunately only one. We saw his reluctance to draw today, I think tomorrow's game will be very aggressive.

Originally posted by gingerbreadmanWell apparently Kramnik accepted it and thats what counts. So its legal for whatever thats worth. It sucks of course. I also wonder why there are only 12 games when most of the earlier ones were 24.
Because most people think Topalov shouldn't have got a point for the forfeit in game 5.

I get the feeling everyone expected him to win game 5 but thats only one of three possiblities so a win statistically is only 1:3, 33% probability especially with two dominatingly strong players like them.
Stastistically its an even bet win lose or draw so the only way to prove it is to play the game over for sure.
