My engines gives a little advantage on Toplalov's side, but minor one. More important is that Topa already have won such Slav defence games. Let's see what happens ... If anyone in next two hours wants to play me on playchess.com with time control between 1+2 till 5+2 - PM or let me know here. | ||

Kramnik defends against this 'threat' by playing 17... Qd7. Now, if 18. b5 Nxc5! is a killer shot as 19. dxc5 Bxc5+ 20. Kg2 Qh3+ is hopeless. Therefore, something like 19. f5 must be played but after 19... Ne4, black looks great. | ||

1. Stalemate: one player has no legal moves. Example: it is your turn to move, but you have no pieces left and your king is surrounded and cannot move, but it is not in check so there is no checkmate. 2. 3 repetitions of the same position. 3. The players agree to a draw, which is what happened in this case. Probably because neither of them can see any attack vectors and experience also supports the belief that the game is drawn. | ||

Open Letter What do you guys think...To FIDE President H.E. Kirsan Illyumzhinov To Head of the 2006 Executive Committee Mr. Valery Bovaev Dear Mr President, Gentlemen, Having received innumerable published and unpublished inquiries I would like to clarify, in the name of Vladimir Kramnik and his team, our position in the decision taken by FIDE regarding the fifth game of the current World Championship match. 1. As you know Vladimir Kramnik is playing the current match under protest. Nothing has changed in our attitude, which is documented by Kramnik’s actions around the fifth game and our statements, protests and letters: 29.09.2006: http://www.kramnik.com/eng/news/viewarticle.aspx?id=104 02.10.2006: http://www.kramnik.com/eng/news/viewarticle.aspx?id=106 04.10.2006: http://www.kramnik.com/eng/news/viewarticle.aspx?id=107 2. Consistent with this standpoint Vladimir Kramnik will be playing this match, including a possible tiebreak, up to the last move under protest. 3. Should the decision of FIDE regarding the fifth game have any influence on the awarding of the World Championship title, with Mr Topalov receiving the title after being granted a free point for the unplayed game, Mr Kramnik declares unequivocally: “I will not recognize Mr Topalov as World Champion under these conditions, and I will take legal action against FIDE at the end of the World Championship.” 4. The damage done to Mr Kramnik in public opinion (e.g. the slander campaign) after the illegal release of private video images by the then FIDE Appeals Committee or the WCC 2006 Executive Committee to the Topalov team, and the subsequent release of these video images and private information of Mr Kramnik in his restroom to the mass media, as well as the interruption of the match, which broke Mr Kramnik’s concentration and playing rhythm, will all be part of the legal action which will be initiated. 5. As a sign of good will Mr Kramnik once again requests FIDE to arrange for game five to be played out on the board immediately after game 12. This in our opinion is the only way to alleviate the personal, sporting, judicial and ethical injuries that have been incurred by Mr Kramnik. Elista, October 10, 2006 On behalf of Vladimir Kramnik Yours sincerely Carsten Hensel (Manager to Vladimir Kramnik, Classical World Chess Champion) | ||

(By the way, does anyone else find it funny calling players with the title 'Mr.' Go Mr. Kramnik!) Anyway, Game 11 ends in a draw. Mr. Kramnik with the white pieces in the final game. | ||

1) Kramnik had the choice to turn up but did not, thus, his fault 2) A true professional, deserving of the title WOULD have turned up 3) If game 5 was so important to Kramnik he should have brought this up AT the time, or near to it not JUST before the final game i hope topalov wins.. much more exciting player | ||
