Here is how it ended.

the game did move up to my expectations.....Anand seems to shy away from dynamism and active play..
am sure this is a ploy from Kramnik to size up Anands appetite for exciting sharp lines.
l forse Kramnik unleashing terror in subsequent games....the guy has a well loaded snipper riffle
