Anands is really great player,keep going Anands well done

Hi greenbean

To answer your question, on move 35 Kramnik declined the f pawn because Anand would play Ra4 and have two connected passers on the Q-side.  I wouldn't want to defend that ending against Anand, either.  On move 39, the g pawn is pinned and can't take the f pawn.  As far as not moving the Rook, I can't speak for Kramnik but I feel that Anand didn't leave Kramnik time to move the Rook--his Knights were always pressured, either through the White Rook or the advancing K-side pawns.  I hope this helps.

Can someone explain why Kramnik passed up two chances to capture Anand's "f" pawn with his knight -- once on f4 (move 35) and again on f6 (move 39)?

Maybe this question only shows my lack of experience and knowledge, but it seems like Kramnik should have dealt with the most imminent threat first and played 35. Nf4, instead of going after Anand's "b" pawn. Even so he had another opportunity in move 39 (Nf6), but instead played Kf7?? Is there something I'm missing here?

Also why did Kramnik allow his rook to sit by idly instead of using it stop the advance of Anand's pawns?

Wow.  Kramnik didn't lose a game in three World championship matches.  Looks like he's making up for lost time in this one.  And Anand, winning with black, not castling--who does he think he is, Sultan Khan?  Way to go, Vishy, silence them critics who say you can only win tournaments and not matches.  I wonder what new mud they'll throw your way after you've won this match.

As always Anand knew that Kramnik is desperate to win and even the odds so Anand is inviting Kramnik to pursue this to try and develop innovative ideas and that is what Anand is prepared to complicate to an extremely sharp psoiton where Kramnik will find it hard to coordinate his pieces or even equalize. As you all know Anand studied very well about the Grob system and the crazy king move and he incorporate that with his encyclopedic knowledge of the opening theory and come up with an unorthodox strategy. Very exciting and its a fight that is bravely ventured by Anand. Well Anand will never sleep, will never stop to maintain his winning performance for all the world to see that chess is very heart pounding, brain twisting, psyche war battle of mind supremacy. Anand is happy about it and even more glad to equalize upon seeing Kramnik working hard to win.

Well, Kram, go home and pray ! And you, Anand V, don't you think you are somebody great. You're just lucky Fisher or Kasparov are out of market. However, Vichy, take your time, you did a great job. Kram, don't be upset. I'm your fan. Try again. 

Where is the fight, where is the glory of winning a match if your opponent is making blunders in a consistent way, one after the other, doesn´t pose you any troubles, no opening novelties of his own, not even has the decency of resigning in a completely lost position??? This match? this is just an advanced christmas present for Anand...

By the way you shouldn´t say Anand is the KING of chess, no sir, remember Topalov, he crushed Anand in 25 move in Bilbao, he has defeated him so many times as white that I can´t remember, all these wins made it to chess informant as great games with great novelties, he showed more class than Anand in Sofia, San Luis, Bilbao, etc., etc. PLEASE don´t forget Topalov did not participate in the clasification tournament for this world championship match, also don´t forget the fact Kramnik is playing like a suicidal drug addict...

Kramnik´s present chess level in this match is the same as a regular GM! and I mean it, what would be the difference?, change him for any GM and you wouldn´t notice the difference, it´s simply like that: one player plays like a 2700+ the other only has a 2700+ rating....

Vishy winning strategy: not letting Kramnik go to the bathroom 50 times per game. I wonder what would have happened if Veselin Topalov (ak Vaseline Toplove lol) would had done the same???

good job anand. but its not over yet. keep up the good work

Please who can give us the Rykba analisys after 26...Nf6, is better than 26...f5??

Both Anand and especially Kramnik are extremely boring players, there's no excitment in chess nowdays. Golden times of chess are long gone. Game 6 is the first one that is somewhat interesting. Snap out of it boys and play some risky, thrilling games, you are not allowed to bore us, there are millions of us watching. If not, please retire and keep playing your dull briliancies at (retirement) home.

Anand was really ready for the challenge!

GREAT Annand ,on defeating Kramnik in 6th game you have done a great job for chess progress in India.

everything have an end ....even kasparov....

Congrats.Anan,you're in your TOP MATURITY,Setting Yourself the task of becoming the WORLD CHAMPION 2008,GO AHEAD...

Great Annand I am proud of consecutive dominating victory over kremnic.

well done

Who do u think Anands current style resembles the most? The way he is playing now - winning with black, avoiding castling, doubling his pawns (! twice while playing black), creating double-edged complications in the middle game, brilliant tactics in the end... its perhaps the most amazing and aggressive style of attacking chess at its best!!! Like Kasparov? Fischer? Or perhaps even Paul Morphy?!

Would love to hear your comments on this... besides, do u think the 2 wins with black will go down as all time classics?!
