Please stick with Kramnik or Anand for tomorrow’s commentary. Both the guys are on fire. Thank you.
Ok, now I have to ask this. Why do most Super-GM games start with 1.d4?
Has humanity run out of viable 1.e4 lines?

I had predicted this win. Anand has something like 11-2 against Svidler. The grandmasters did’nt see a win coming like 7 moves before Svidler resigned!
What is the draw for tomorrow? Also can we do a live commentary of Anand’s match tomorrow?
Wow! Amazing, how much energy Anand’s pieces displayed! From what seemed to be a level position!
Thanks!
