Kramnik WCC 2008

Kramnik what's wrong with you. You lost 3 games. If you can't win then you should draw the games. I know you can draw easily. Most of the player loose becuase they want to win. I think Anand will peacefully retain his world championship title opting for draws in the worst case in the subsequent games. 

Some of the move Kramnik played was too trivial. A grandmaster playing such moves is surprising. Only a miracle can stop Anand to retain his title.

There is something new in these mataches. First is they are starting the game with d4. I don't know why they are not playing e4. I want to see an e4 game. e4 is the best possible move. Secondly, Anand is not castling. This is strange. Castling keeps your king safe but that same time you loose one move in just castling. Anand's strategy is to use that move for other purpose. What Ananad is doing is he is able to save the king without castling. And that's what the logic says. If you can save your king and attack too without castling then why to castle? This strategy is working for him so far. However, Anand's king did got into trouble at times but that was pre-calculated by him.

I found Anand doesn't follow classical chess. He loves to break the rules. In game 5 he had not pawns in a b c file in contrast with Kramnik's 2 pawns back to back. Remember although pawns are weak pieces but they have potential to become queen, the strongest piece on the board. So, basically no one likes to do that. But, Anand did and won the match too. That shows his perfectness. So, far Anand is playing superb game. He moves same as suggested by supercomputer. Even Kramnik too. I don't know why Kramnik is not able to convert it to win. Kramnik had defeated Kasparov also. Kasparov is the most fundamental player in the history. I yet am keeping eyes on the games. 6 more matches to go. Result is known yet hoping for miracles...Lol
