Timman – Ljubojevic
Worth having a look at. Timman repeating Topalov’s novelty 12. Nxf2.
12. Nxf7 of course.
Come on Topalov!! Squash Radjabov!!!
I wish there was a way to watch the games live from work without downloading any software to my boss’ computer. anyone have a suggestion? Chessdom only has one game a round.
As chessbase point out 12. Nxf7 was not a novelty.
I predict an upset and see a 5 way tie for 1st place: Judit, Vishy, Magnus, Topalov, and Old Man Jenkins.
