Final day of Kramnik-Aronian match was a comedy of errors. Aronian, with a draw in hand already, played quite complacently, content with a draw even when he had a winning position. Kramnik, on the other hand, tried too hard, missed some key moves and would actually get into trouble if only his opponent wasn't being so relaxed.
Both games ended in draws, and in both games, the axe could have swung either way. Still, their brilliant, beautiful play continues.
Final result: Aronian trumped Kramnik 4-2. Marvellous display from the world number 5.

Someone stole my choice word:-) What's the meaning anyway? It's a German word, meaning "compulsion to move". In chess, it means having to move when the only available moves are all bad. Read bad choices, yes. Like having to do something else when we could play chess instead:-) So, if we can't play chess, then let's read about it!
