At move 38, it looks like Kramnik may be poised to capture most of black's pawns. Even the king may be threatened. As long as he can avoid falling into perpetual check from Topalov's queen, I think he can win this. Perhaps Topalov could have reached a draw by playing defensively, but instead he went for an attack on the kingside pawns. I guess a draw is equivalent to a loss for him at this point. I'm glad that both players went for the kill: it makes the game more interesting  .Topalov has been pondering his 38th move for at least 10 minutes now. He has another 30 minutes on the clock too, so he might as well use it (Kramnik has 12). I think he is looking for a way to win. Edit: Oh I'm dumb, Topalov already has a perpetual check, thanks to his pawns. He must be looking for a win. | ||

6:6 and Kramnik playing under protest because of game 5. Looks like more scandal will come. | ||

I hope for full sets of games (7) but expect Kramnik to take after one win and three draws in rapid chess. | ||
