Has the coverage died or does anyone have moves from any site?

The clocks broke apparently in the Kramnik- Radjabov match.

Some clock malfunction or something?!

Blitz for the World Championship is a complete joke. Though these two players deserve it after their first 8 games to be fair...

This is ridiculous. Radjabov should be extremely pissed off imo. How can you break for ten minutes at such a moment?

The official site now says Kramnik won after 80 moves.

Yes, the official site updated the moves soon after i posted to say it had died. He simplified into a winning opposite colour bishop ending with two extra pawns

I've been out and gather I've missed at least a couple of white wins - what are the scores on the 2 matches now?

Kramnik won to level the match after 10 games, Aronian trying to hold game 8 at 3.5-3.5

Looks like Grischuk's got the win.

Tragic. Aronian would have been the best of the eight candidates to challenge Anand, in my view.
