   The game made it to move 42, but in a higher sense the game was over
   before it started. Kamsky, with Black, had devised a very new idea in
   the Breyer Variation of the Ruy Lopez, and neither Svidler in round 4
   nor Shirov today managed to figure it out. Kamsky offered up an
   improvement on his earlier game on move 20, equalized immediately, and
   was never in any real danger the rest of the way. (The opening gets
   some credit, but Kamsky dserves the lion's share for his strong
   defense.)
   The next game is tomorrow, while today's game, with some fairly
   offhand comments, is [1]right here.
