Subject: Re: Can't Kramnik Calculate the 2 moves will be played as he played Qc4??

Go up one level in this thread


yeah, it was an obvious blunder even for a class B player like myself
but...

At the time it happened, Kramnik was down to 16 minutes on his clock for the
next 8 moves(Fritz had about 45 minutes) This is not time trouble...yet.
But given Kramnik may have seen himself going into a difficult Q + N
endgame of a kind generally handled well by computers, he may have
anticipated a coming time shortage and hurried his move...

a huge blunder, not likely from a superGM, but not impossible..
