This is good >for the spectators! yeap, I agree completely, I think the procedure that u used makes things a little more competitive Look at Kramnik's hihg percentage of draws -- 10 games were draws out of a possible 12! some were horribly short Rd 1 ---> 18 first round he shows how much he wants to fight! Rd 4 ---> 16 Rd 7 ---> 25 Rd 10 --> 13 Rd 14 --> 35 this was his longest draw as then he started fighting instead of coasting ala "Petrosian mode" because he knew he had to fight. This game was absolutely a draw and he lost the tourney because of it. Leko, Anand and a few others have shown a fighting spirit, even GK had 9 drawn games but most were in their 30 & 40's, one was in the teens. I can't wait to see another GK - Kramnik match. I think GK will crush him. Kramnik has been coasting for a while. This tourney and in general shows how he wants to play. Kramnik is a great player and more than I'll ever be but this is just my opinion. > >Bye Ingo
