After exf4, the commentator said Grischuk must be tired, because if he wasn't, he would not have let Gelfand break out of his cramped position.

Material will end up even but, as Trysts said, Gelfand is out of Jail.

yeah he got the Get of Jail Free card on that plus I'm sure he feels like he landed on Free Parking too. Lucky man he is.

At least it was better than the last games Nick. I'm happier about it now and at least they showed something today that was of interest. I was kinder in my blog entry as well but we will have tie-breakers on Thursday it looks like.

Well, that was a little better, but it was a draw anyway. So now, with the score tied 2.5-2.5, tomorrow Gelfand will have the White pieces for the last classical game of the finals. I think both players are very confident about their rapid and blitz abilities, but tomorrow's game I feel that Gelfand is going to press hard for the win

He better press hard tomorrow because the faster time controls favor Grischuk, especially the blitz.

Agree that it was a better game and that Gelfand should press tomorrow. Blitz will favour Grischuk
If Gelfand doesn't PRESS tomorrow then he doesn't really want to win.
Gelfand might surprise Grischuk in blitz who knows, regardless if someone doesn't win tomorrow in classic time control I consider this candidates format to be a total failure. Will be nice to watch Anand beat the tar out of whoever wins.
I watch the web cam during some of these games and noticed that Grischuk wears a wedding band on his right hand ? Is this the custom in Russia or maybe its not a wedding band ?

I think that the right hand is common in countries where the Eastern Orthodox church is dominant

We wear it on the right in Norway too.

I am somewhat looking forwards to tomorrow's game, althouth Anand's games will be better I hope. Does anyone know a good site to observe the games because I looked arond and couldnt find a good one
They arent carrying the games here ? There is also a great web came broadcast from the official site...... Both players are very expressive at the board ....
It's been said in the playchess chat that this is a battle for e5 as well Nick, so I am sure that's what is being mentioned.
