Dortmund Rd3: Four draws

by ChessBase
7/15/2014 – As usual, the title does not tell the entire tale of the round. Kramnik obtained a large advantage against Baramidze, and seemed headed to a win, but bad mistakes with 23.Nf3? and 25.f5? turned the tables. The game was pushed to the bitter end, but a draw ensued. There was little to say about the two other Berlins, and a quiet French Classical, making for a fairly lifeless round.
