Quick draw, as could be expected.
Stupid comment, as could be expected.
Boring game, but Leko had black and is leading the tournament while Kramnik was recovering from a defeat.
Anonymous’s comments, as could be expected.
@ Anon 12:14 – I predicted exactly that, i.e. a short draw, in a previous post. What else would you expect froam a player who does not want to make too much of his opening preparation public (Kramnik) and an adversary with a historically bad score against him (Leko). Plus, they have the same manager. So please tell me why my remark should be stupid please.
Why do they call Kramnik Drawnik? Borenik would be a better name. I hope Kasparov comes back after he beats Putin.
Your comment was indeed not stupid.
My apologies.
My comment was just a (stupid?) joke which should be taken lightly.
But the fact they have the same manager has nothing to do with it
IMO.
