Of course everyone will pick on mr Nisipeanu..he’s the token player everyone should beat..sort of like when they throw Mr \Timman or Van Wely….Spnsors like that but everyone knows they’re just cannon fodder……but it’s interesting to see none of the top players really reaching out to win against each other. I certainly wish Mr Topalov the best because I think he’s the funnest player in the world and I’m glad he’s getting his confidence back. That’s a tough thing to do. good for him.
Fabiano was robbed!
