The last two rounds were replete with draws. Draw / Draw / Draw.
There was one game of note however, Kramnik versus Tomashevsky in the 8th round, that was a Fight / Fight / Fight. That was the longest game, in length and in time so far. Kramnik squeezed this one down to the last drop of blood – all 108 moves.
