Glad to see Gata doing so well in this very powerful field.
Anand is not doing that well.
kramnik 1 anand 0 sweet neutral blitz
Anand in 5th place… Kramnik sniffing his vapor in 6th place.
Kramnik is not a blitz player he is a “chess” player first don’t forget this! And the second, in a blitz game every player has some chances to win and in such a tournament that players are playing so much games in a row the result is simply not a measure for their real chess power!
Oh, like saying Kramnik isn’t a runner, just a jogger.
…Alrighty then!
not at all … it’s more like Pheidippides and Buddha
well no jim carey, actualy its like saying kramniks not a sprinter, he is a marathon runner.
hayri you make an excelent point.
Go Kramnik!
Nakamura belongs here.
