Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
At least he set his phaser on stun. No wonder Kamsky couldn’t play well after that.
He better get use to it….since Topalov will crush him in every round.
A difference of 50 points in elo doesn’t mean much.
Who is Gashymov? Is he better than Kamsky? Can we hire him for USCF training?
“since Topalov will crush him in every round.”
Topalovian will loose easyyy.
“Topalovian will loose easyyy.”
Yes, but to Kramnik when they play for the WCC next year. Topalov will never be beaten by Kamsky…and you can quote me on it!!
Kamsky or Topalov:
Topalov has no right to play for the WCC.
Every chessplayer (even the Bulgarians) should hope for a Kamsky win to set things right.
