Kramniks 14. NF6 is such a genius move - he does not defend the c6 pawn which is the weakness and the very point of the Rc1 move by white.... amazing!!! i think he may have killed off this line for white.....
[DM: Yes, it's a fine concept, but as I noted it's not clear who gets the credit for it. Kasimdzhanov played it first, and while he might have gotten it from somewhere else it's all speculation until one of the principals says something about it.]

I was rooting for Kamsky to be the next challenger for Anand, but after today... GO Gelfand!
