Kramnik made that comment after the game when he wasn't in time pressure.

isn't it a bit boring to watch in the room a game when a player is thinking for about 40 minutes without moving ?

nice game, again the sharp line similar to game no.3...the only problem is that now I think both players are used to those sharp ideas and there are higher chances for draw...

Kramnik lost again! Similar scenario like in 3rd round.

The same sharp variation - Anand`s novelty - Kramnik is spending much time, getting playable position, but was overcalculated in complicated position.

Kramnik's move 29 seems to be a terrible blunder - surely 29 Nd2 would have been the move.

kramnik'll have to change gears if he wants to achieve something in the remaining games.

The pressure on him and his team must be gigantic ......

Personally, I think that Kramnik's team let him down somewhat. They didn't seem to have prepared him thoroughly for Anand's novelty, so he got swept away again by another new move that his team missed.

I am really impressed by Anand's play; despite his rather mediocre performance in recent tournaments, he is really showing Kramnik and the world that he deserves to be world champion! His performance rating is over 2900!

At move 26 Kramnik is a pawn down, but Anand's rook is horrible. Surely Kramnik will be able to take advantage of that somehow?

the GM is saying on the site that there is no compensation for the pawn...so I suppose Anand can push him back now...

I hope Kramnik will not resign and he will try to fight for this 0,5 points...
