Corus, Round 12: Kramnik-Carlsen

   The game of the tournament? Granted, Kramnik's play wasn't terrific,
   but Carlsen's was, and it marked a double milestone for him: a win in
   classical chess over the former world champion - with the black
   pieces, at that - was a great achievement, and it helped him to win
   (equal first) in one of the chess world's great super-tournaments.
   You can replay the game [1]here. The annotations are mostly based on
   Carlsen's comments in the [2]press conference, but I've added a few
   notes here and there as well.
