Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
oh man. Kramnik was in deep sh*t in that game against Gelfand before manageing a draw.
Tal would have been pleased with so many draws. He loved draws and the positions that lead to draws. I think he had more draws than any contemporary GM. This tournament is really living to Tal’s standard and reputation as the Draw King! Viva Tal! Viva the draws!
