Aronian versus Kramnik

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

aronian won the rapid there wasnt a blitz

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

Friday and Saturday are the last two games.

I'll say Aronian wins the next game

I shall predict a sicillian with Kramnik emerging the victor.

I shall stay with my original thinking...and forsee a draw for the remaining two games. My rationale was based on game 4...Aronian had white, yet he played right into the Berlin, a well known drawish line. Seems to me that the fight is over...and it looks like more rapid to come...

For anyone planning to watch Saturday that didn't already know, the last day starts 2 hours earlier than the first 5 rounds...

thanks pwwaring, i would probably have missed that one otherwise, got the day off too

Looking forward to these two days...they will be the only times I will be able to see the postgame interviews. I am still at work now, will be done at about 7am...just in time to grab two hours sleep, and enjoy some chess...

*Time to wake-up and get some coffee*

Okay, game five has just started. They are playing a semi-slav defence, which is a variation of the queen's gambit opening. Very interesting

I think you can watch all past interviews at the end of the full commentary archives for this match, on this site:

This is a slow game, but slow is not bad. We're on move twenty. Everyone is commenting that this is a draw, at Chessbomb, but I've seen many decisive games at this level while eveyone is yelling draw. I find the game very interesting.

I can't because despite it saying that it is for all members, only premium members can view it.

No, I'm watching the moves on Chessbomb and the Zurich site. I actually have been following it on my chess board as well

I get these type of endgame positions a lot. I'm glad they're not drawing!

This is a neat game! We're at time control, and the position has been quite complex. This has been quite captivating to me. I've only had one bloody mary in three hours, because I've been distracted by the game

The commentators in Zurich are implying that if you offer a draw, and it is declined, then unsaid chess ettiquette is that you don't offer a second draw
