摘要
A tense and cautious draw. Both players are visibly wary after the turbulent events of the previous week — Topalov avoids sharpening the game and Kramnik is content to equalize and consolidate his psychological momentum. The match score remains 3½–3½ heading into the second half.
解说
Topalov steers into a Semi-Slav position but deliberately avoids his sharpest and most theoretical lines — an unusually cautious approach for a player of his style.
Kramnik neutralises White's space advantage with accurate piece placement and steers toward simplification at every opportunity.
The game winds down into a drawn rook endgame without real drama; both players are conserving energy for the decisive stretch ahead.
