The quality of his technique was on an entirely different level. The rest of the field were relegated to spectator status by battering each other out of contention. There is only one other player with a plus score – Shirov with two losses! He's a point and a half behind Kramnik and a half-point ahead of a big pack on even: Carlsen, Jakovenko, Leko, and Gelfand, who has drawn all eight of his games. If you remove Kramnik from his lofty perch on top of the crosstable it looks like a very balanced, hard-fought event with a high percentage of draws. Only a handful of those draws were under 25 moves and even those were almost all of the scorched earth variety. Only Kramnik and Gelfand have gone undefeated and only 1.5 points separate the field not including the winner."</p> <p>This is what the tournament would look like without Kramnik:</p> <div class="pseudo-intent"> <p><img src="/portals/all/_for_legal_reasons.jpg" width="500" height="161"></p> </div> <h3>Draw statistics</h3> <p>At the end of the event the draw average had climbed to 73%. But here we must caution that this can in no way lead to the conclusion that the event was unfought or boring.</p> <p><img src="/portals/all/_for_legal_reasons.jpg" width="524" height="257"></p> <p>The bottom graph shows the number of drawn games (1, 2 or 3) that were played with how many moves. The shortest draw was the round nine 16-mover played by the two disconsolate GMs Mamedyarov (lost to Kramnik yesterday) and Alekseev (been at the bottom of the table throughout the tournament), one 18-mover Alekseev-Jakovenko in round eight and just four more games in under 25 moves. All other draws were fairly or intensely well fought out. Of course the titanic 93-move battle between Ivanchuk and Carlsen stands out.</p> <table width="600"> <tr> <td> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li> <p><strong><a href="http://russiachess.org/eng/" target="_blank">Official web site</a></strong></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="http://en.chessbase.com/portals/4/files/news/2007/games/talmem07.pgn">All games so far in PGN</a></p> </li> <li> <p><strong><a href="http://www.chessbase.com/download/cblight2007/index.asp">Download free PGN reader ChessBase Light</a></strong></p> </li> <li> <p>The games are being broadcast on <a href="http://www.playchess.com">Playchess.com</a></p> </li> </ul></td> <td width="170"><div align="right"><img src="/portals/all/_for_legal_reasons.jpg" width="150" height="150"></div></td> </tr> </table></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="blog-content1 col-xs-12" style="padding: 0;"> <hr class="hr-mutter" /> <div id="Werbung" class="hidden-sm hidden-md hidden-lg col-xs-12" style="width: 100%; border-bottom: 1px solid #9c9e9f; margin: 0px 0px 15px 0px; padding: 0 0 15px 0; display: block;"> <a id="BillBoardLink" href="https://shop.chessbase.com/en/products/chessbase_18_mega_package?ref=RF249-5E9N4Z28RL"> <img src="/Images/Banner/CB18-mobil.jpg" style="width: 100%;" /> </a> </div> <div class="col-xs-12" style="float: left; padding: 0px; margin-bottom: 3px;"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </section> <section class="container col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12" style="float:none; clear: both;"> <section id="ContentArea" class="content col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12" style="height:100%;"> <div class="full_content_area col-xs-12 col-sm-9 col-md-9 col-lg-9" style="height: 100%; padding-top: 0;"> <div class="col-xs-12" style="padding: 0;"> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6" style="float: left; padding: 0px;"> <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" /> <meta name="twitter:site" content ="@Chessbase"/> <meta name="twitter:creator" content ="@Chessbase"/> <meta name="twitter:title" content="Tal Memorial R9: all games drawn, Kramnik triumphs" /> <meta name="twitter:description" content="We knew the result already yesterday, and with all final round games drawn nothing basically changed.
