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

The clocks broke apparently in the Kramnik- Radjabov match.

I'm on the official site and the last move I have is 28. ... R8a5

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...

Of course I mean 21. ...R8a5. And now I have 22. Qd1

wow! Kramnik's actually going to win. More blitz to enjoy

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.

Nice win!!!!!

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