Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Bareev spent ALOT of time to make these 15 moves. Although he had some chances he figured out that draw offer was safer. Apparently Leko was satisfied to draw with black pieces.
This is a short draw that is quite ok in my opinion.
Funney, this is no fighting chess, and Leko is not to blame.
is it just me, or is computer chess by fritz vs junior more exciting than these book-move draws?
