Gelfand 0 Kamsky 1 so Kamsky leads 2-1 going into the 4th and final rapidplay game

A sensible improvement, learning from the problems last time

I see Gelfand has lost, but he has the advantage of the black pieces in the final game

Kramnik draw - wonder how long game 4 will last

Grischuk seems addicted to time trouble, and to play very well in it

Utterly ridiculous as an advertisement for top-level chess. Embarrassing!

You should have seen Gelfands face when he realised Grischuk and Kramnik played only 8 moves!!!

<-- for him!!!

The Kramnik v Grishcuk games have been fantastic, but Grischuk v Kramink an absolute disgrace. I suppose that Grischuk fears that if he has to keep on having to save bad positions with twenty seconds on his clock, without respite, then he might just spontaneously combust.

Blimey, I missed one of them!!

Let's hope he doesn't draw white if it goes to the armageddon blitz

I know nothing about these Hedgehog positions but I doubt that Kamsky has played particularly accurately. Presumably if f5, Black plays d5

Loving the fact Gelfand Missed Naxa5 blunder and then Kamsky missed Bxf7 winning

This is entertaining....
