..My guess is that Shirov will take his chances
but I suspect Kamsky will hold the position.In fact I like Kamsky's
counter chances.He is threatening to win a piece

Well I was wrong! (again).Shirov has winning chances as he has passes
pawns on the queenside.White's King position is weaker than black's
but a two pawn advantage on the queenside maybe more than the
defensive skills of Kamsky can manage.If Shirov can manage to trade
off the queens ...game over.It maybe over for all practical purposes
already.

Well I was wrong (yet again).Kamsky holds the draw.He took advantage
of white's weakened Kings position to force a draw.Kamsky now has to
draw Game 4 with the white pieces tomorrw to clinch the Match.Good
luck Gata !!
