I would have dragged it out a little more, too, but it is possible that Ed saw he was going to lose a pawn or two and decided to call it quits. That big trade down into an ending was interesting. Mine would have played Nxf7 and the rest of that as well, thinking it was doing just dandy at the start, then a little less dandy as the end of the exchange came closer. Two bishops will kill a rook, but there has to be some point where you add enough pawns to go with the rook that you'd prefer the rook. You'd think that three pawns would be beyond that point. I wonder what was going through Anand's mind during that game. bruce
