Final round:
Judit Polgar (5) – Topalov (6)
Ponomariov (5.5) – Kasimdzhanov (3.5)
Karpov (2.5) – Nisipeanu (4.5)
Technically speaking, Judit, Ponomariov and Topalov can still win this prestigious tournament.

Go Topa, revenge!
BTW, Susan, we’d much appreciate a comment or two on the game as it goes along if possible.
Here’s hoping for another notch on the belt of the Hungarian Lioness. 🙂
hope she can pull off stunning sweet victory im pullin hard for judit best of luck
Does someone remeber when was the last time Topalov lost a last round classical game?
Topa only needs a draw to secure at least shared first but still play the Siclian Najdorf. What a spirit that guy has.
now Topalov only needs a draw for sole first since Ponomariov just lost to kasimdzhanov
Topalov lost to Judit one year ago (Oct. 28, 2006) in the final round at Essent. He usually does well in the second half but not always.
reisgnable for judith now
It is about time for white to resign, but since Judit is almost as maniacal as Topa, I expect a fierce battle till the last drop of blood is shed on the squares. Entertainig chess those two offer, dont they.
Toppy wins!
