As he was thinking about his 25th move, a sudden disaster occured to me: I started thinking. No, not about the game - I started thinking about my opponent. To be more exact, about my opponent's name. And then it hit me! "OH MY GOD!!" - I thought to myself - "If his name is Urodin, his wife's name must be ... OH MY GOD!! Poor woman ..."
By the way, if you didn't get any of this, it's probably because you don't know Russian. Seek the advice of a Russian-speaking person to explain.
Obviosly, after such a mind-blowing thought, I could not concentrate on the game anymore at all! All I had in my head was "Poor woman!". Lucky for me, the game didn't last too long!
25. f4 Nc8
26. fxe5 dxe5
27. Nf3 Nd6
1/2 - 1/2
I offered a draw and he accepted. I was quite happy to draw with black, against a strong player, especially given my mental state ... I escaped the table as soon as possible, without a post-mortem, and without waiting for my teammates to finish their games.

Vladimir Kramnik edges ahead — Vishy Anand may have taken Vladimir Kramnik’s world title but he did him a favour in tenth round at Corus chess tournament when he broke his run of nine draws and defeated the co-leader Alexey Shirov. It was Shirov’s first defeat and Kramnik’s nervy draw with Vassily Ivanchuk gave him the sole lead on 7/10 with three to play but as well as Shirov he has world number one Magnus Carlsen in hot pursuit. Carlsen defeated Sergey Karjakin in what your correspondent found a mystifying game in which Karjakin, playing white seemed to have the initiative and better placed pieces but was soon worse. So the chess tournament is set up perfectly for ...

Kramnik claims Carlsen — Vladimir Kramnik played what he described as feeling like “his greatest ever game” to defeat Magnus Carlsen in the ninth round of the Corus chess tournament at Wijk aan Zee. The former world chess champion moved into the joint lead with Alexey Shirov and avenged his defeat at Carlsen’s hands at last December’s London Chess Classic. Scores with four to play: 1-2 Shirov, Kramnik 6.5/9; 3-4 Carlsen, Karjakin 5.5; 5-7 Ivanchuk, Dominguez, Nakamura 5; 8-9 Leko, Anand 4.5; 10 Caruana 3.5; 11-13 Tiviakov, Short, Van Wely 3; 14 Smeets 2.5; ...

Shirov in Sveshnikov — Vladimir Kramnik made his move in the eighth round of the Corus chess tournament at Wijk aan Zee and defeated the US chess champion Hikaru Nakamura to join Magnus Carlsen in second place. Alexey Shirov remains half a point ahead with five to play and he tested Magnus Carlsen’s chess opening preparation by challenging him to repeat the line that decided last year’s MTel tournament when Carlsen lost badly. A fascinating game. In the Sveshnikov Sicilian Black often sacrifices pawns for activity. White is three pawns ahead at the end but cannot coordinate. ...
