And the Chess Oscar goes to: Anand....for being the best DRAW MASTER in the world!!
lame, lame, lame
"lame, lame, lame"
and where is your Oscar schwanz-lieber?
Hmmmmmm, who is giving awards for being the #1 at drawing games??
Anand drew a few games at the end of a tournament to clinch first place - a sensible tournament tactic.
Kramnik (Drawnik) sets out to deliberately draw (eg Petroff) at least 50% of his games no matter what the tournament situation.
What is it with these Kramnik clowns? Why are they such sore losers?
Win with Grace, Lose with Dignity!, Susan says.
Anand has won the Oscar 5 times; Kramnik only 2.
Guess who's going to win in October!
Kramnik will crush Anand to oblivion in October. No doubt about that. Whoever thinks otherwise, is clueless.
Remember it will be a match....not a tournament.
Yeah, that's what they said regarding Fischer until he started winning matches 6-0.
