I have CA 7.1 and it said it was a novelty there too. I think it was a genuine novelty. FWIW, it didn't seem too forcing, I just think that Leko fell apart today. I bet it's not too long before we see that move again - unless analysis quickly shows a big refutation! I had been rooting for Leko but I'm impressed the way that Kramnik played the last couple of games. Peter had chances earlier in the tournament but accepted draws in possibly winning situations so I don't feel so bad for him. Andy.
