Wow! Kamsky beat Anand last night with black at the MTel tournament. After a miserable performance at Corus, the American seems to have jolted himself back into the powerhouse that he once was.

Did you see the photo of Kamsky on the chessbase site with the cowboy hat? What a classic!
Yes, but I think that was taken from the US Chess championships site. So it would've been captured at that event.
