The Ten Most Important Novelties of Informant 99
Right here (permalink in pdf here). The full games and analysis are presented therein, but you can also find listed the top 30 selections from that issue of the Informant. It doesn't tell you on the list which move was the novelty, but if you look it up in your databases you should be able to find it for yourself. A low tech solution, and not as convenient or, er, informative as having Informant 99 yourself, but definitely better than nothing! The results of that competition, and the previous month's as well, covering the ten best games from that issue, bespeak Kramnik's great results in the first half of this year: his win over Carlsen was the third best game and had the best novelty, while his win over Anand from Wijk aan Zee took second in both contests.
