Topalov (watching Leko and Ivanchuk):
“Well, if I really HAVE to shake hands with Kramnik, that’s the way I’ll do it – blindfolded!”
Gelfand+Vely+Leko: If we combine ideas maybe Anand will lose the rapid with Leko.
Anand to Topalov: I will regain the first after the rapid!
Topalov: I wonder if these 3 guys from the bottom of the table could surprise the WC?!
Ljubojević, Anand, Leko, VanWely, and Topalov.
“How many ChessPlayers does it take to setup a chessboard?”
Topalov: I’m too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my jacket….so sexy it hurts….I’m a model you know what I mean…
Anand: Yes! Yes!! This will be another draw for me….I can draw myself to the top once again. I am the Draw Master!!!
Leko: As soon as Anand offers the draw…I will accept!! When was the last time I won a game??
Ljubojevic: “Look, it’s simple, just check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check and ma–oh, it’s not mate. But here’s another interesting move.”
Highest rated bughouse game ever!
Somebody better call Gary!
That’s the dream team of seconds for Vishy against Kramnik 😉
Isn’t that Ljubojevic guy below the league of the players of Amber? Why would they listen to anything he has to say? You know, like a patzer giving advice to GMs?
I heard Ljubo didn’t get his GM norm fair and square?! Unfortunately, the guy who overheard the agreement of foul play is not among living any more.
