Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Kamsky got a taste of what’s coming against Topalov.
In Baku Cheparinov started with 0/4. This time he tried different approach with 2.5/3 🙂
Kamsky had the win, but bad move on I think 39, so instead of Qc8 it should have been Bg6 to protect pawn, but he blundered as usual
How many times did Cheparinov visit the toilet? Were Topalov and Danailov hiding inside one of the toilet stalls?
kamsky didn’t blundered, he is just whispering truth to topalov sneaky ears, and you know IT
It is too bad Topalov has to play this Russian guy before he can play Kramnik. No doubt the KGB will help Kamsky out with another bathroom wire connected to Fritz or Rybka. An also notice that this event is going to be held in the USSR also. So if by some freak chance Topalov wins this match against Kamsky he will face the KGB again, this time backe by Gazprom in another Soviet location. I hope he has the good sense to hire Danialov as his manager for this match as he is the only one that can handle the KGB. Alexander Litvinenko could not and look at the slow death he got from Putin. Topalov is the bravest champion there is.
Cald war is back
Sure, Topalov was the strongest player of all times and reached 2800. Now the greatest player of all times is alekseev, but i am sure Topalov will become the strongest of all times newly, and reach 2800. Kamsky is weak, he lost against Cheparinov, and Kramnik is so weak, he wins only against vanvely
Polo Mateo: I don’t know if you understand chess well but according to Rybka Kamsky had a 3 point advantage with 38. .. h4! Obviously Kamsky made a blunder.
Do you people even know what the words “greatest of all time” mean???
Kamsky completely outplay Cheparinov, he need to play 38. .. h4, not 38. .. Rc2
