Perfect timing to compare your diagram with the other semi-slav they played, backrankblues

Hi trysts, yeah, thanks! enjoy the game! 

Ugh. GM Naiditsch is saying "draw" again ...

Anand has played amazingly fast his last moves.

Time limit is 2 or 2 and a a half hours for the first 40 moves?

2 hours for 40, 1 for next 20 then 15 with 30 increments.

Anand is playing all his moves with Houdini.

11 minutes for 21 moves clearly indicates that all Anand's moves are home-prepared.

Woo Gelfand played Timman's move 22. Bc3

You (and they did) have his clock wrong, he's had 24 mins.

It's a very interesting position.

Indeed! I wish they would discuss it more, but they're telling funny stories

Ooo wow Anand is allowing BxN. I liked how Timman saw the mate in a flash if Black replies QxB.

I didn't see it - I thought the black bishop covered the mate!

Timman's line was:
BxN QxB
Re8+ Bf8 (blocks)
Bh7+! Kh8
RxB mate

LOL. Timman got Russian art.

Can that game escape the draw?

We are at move 24, one hour and forty-five minutes into game four, and it's time for another cup of tea

Houdini's evaluation after 22 ... Bd4 is 0.00

One thing I'm learning from these games is that there is no point going for a win if there is no win to be had. In this position, with either white or black, I'd be (pointlessly) going for a win

If Timman wants to avoid the bishop exchange, he must play 25. Bb4. The alternative 25. Bd2 loses at once to Bxf2+!

So would I, but we wouldn't be playing Anand or Gelfand
