hm, I called the draw yesterday and the opening before the match. Trysts, Kramnik played the Rio De Janiro Variation that I was telling you about earlier, looks dubious at first, but very hard to beat.

Oh, yes! You've been quite prophetic lately

Kramnik has the white pieces in the rapid game, but I'm going to stick with Aronian to win this one

For the rapid I hope they do something really crazy. Fankenstein-Dracula game or something :)

It's a lot tougher to make a call in Rapid, so any prediction I make will probably be wrong, but I'm gonna call Kramnik, just to contradict you Trysts  I dont know who will win, but this way one of us will be right!

Oh! Kramnik is playing the same opening that I've been working on for two years! (with the early d3-c3)Very exciting!

Well that was a fun game

@Christian: Perhaps your luck is changing?

So the favourite letter of monkeys in general is "S"?

They actually played a variation to the Berlin that has never been played before...I think the draw was the fair outcome.

So before these games started I predicted a draw...and it looks like it will end that way. Two games left, with no need to take any risks...I think we will see d4 returning now...with both of the two being drawn.

Game 3 was the big surprise for me...how do you sac your Queen?...I could never do that...especially when it was not forced...

I agree that game three was very surprising, and a lot of fun

who wonn the blitz

aronian won the rapid there wasnt a blitz

Take a breather until Friday now. Thanks guys for your predictions ! Insightful @ 3:!.

whats the rest of the match schedule?

Friday and Saturday are the last two games.

aw have to wait?

I'm calling Kramnik to win the next game, just because that would make it climatic on the last one :)

I'll say Aronian wins the next game

another contradiction! For some reason I want to predict a Grunfeld, but trying to predict the opening is like a needle in a haystack!
