So I guess Kramnik is going to have to do without Svidler’s services in the last 2 games? tHey probably had enough time together to devise any novelty by now if it was going to happen.
I hope to see it on the board when I wake up tomorrow.
I hope it is a doozy because I can only watch until 8:30 am EST.
A great Tournament to come
