Go Bacrot!
Bravo Bacrot!
Bravo Bacrot!
Wow, that was a big win for Bacrot.
According to Topalov fans, this makes Bacrot the undisputed World Champion.
Sensational poker victory. Congrats Etienne! Vive la Republique.
Magnus owes EB dinner and a cold one.
No problems Anon, Magnus will arrange quality time for Bacrot to spend with Liv Tyler.
Bacrot would be helpful taking Liv off Magnus’ hands, as the fast woman and World Champions don’t mix, unless they are married to the women (The secret to Vishy’s success: the little head is managed by his wife and the big head is managed by Anand).
Is Black’s piece sac 8… Bxe4 a standard line, or a wild try from Anand?
