Kramnik-Anand, game 5 with notes
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1224534128.shtml


   Earlier today, Anand won his second game to take a big 3.5-1.5 lead in
   his world championship match against Kramnik. It was another great
   game in the Meran Semi-Slav, but it came to a screeching halt when
   Kramnik fell for a very neat trap - but one within his pay grade to
   figure out and sidestep.
   Kramnik is now in biiiiig trouble, and if he loses tomorrow he can
   just about book a plane for Moscow (or Paris) for this weekend. If
   only for the sake of excitement, let's hope Kramnik overcomes his
   chess version of "[1]the yips".
   Meanwhile, [2]here's today's game, with my notes. (On a replayable
   board, with deeper commentary than in the [3]live blog post.)
