Good point Trysts

But here's another thing I am always amazed by. Timman found 26 ... g6 obvious, and clearly so did Anand! I must be blind

From their games till now it is obviously that they are not willing to take risks.12 games are very few.One win may give a decisive advantage to the winner.

Ya it has been pretty close so far!

What does NIIT on Anand's t-shirt stand for? Some institute of technology in India?

Houdini's first line is draw by perpetual check. It is a very calm game compared to the last one. 

Quite obvious that the last thing Gelfand wants is a draw ...

There's a tie break? I thought 6-6 and the current champ kept his title.

Is it considered improper in this situation for Anand to offer a draw? Should he wait for Boris do so instead?

Anand looks like he's ready...

Yep. Tie-breaks if necessary.

Anand is very well prepared in Slav.Gelfand should change his strategy or unleash a well -prepared novelty if he wants to have some chance for a win with white.

Darn, again. The moves that the GMs find obvious, like Black's last two moves of b6 and Rd6. Not obvious to me at all. Obvious only after I hear the explanation.

He sure does. He looks almost annoyed.

Well, I definitely prefer Aronian to Kramnik, Anand or Gelfand.

Anand is Scottish?

Yes , his family were highlanders

How we 16oo's play!!!! No draws with us.  Bang, bang bang, win!  Bang, bang, bang, lose!  

There is always a result  

Maybe tomorrow on their rest day, these guys should play with us and we will sure give them a run for their money, hehe 

Orsh, a Celtic fan then?

There definitely wouldn't be a draw if I played Anand.
