Round 3 matchups:
Cheparinov, I – Topalov, V
Radjabov, T – Aronian, L
Ivanchuk, V – Xiangzhi, Bu
Since no draw is allowed (Mtel rule), what is your prediction for these 3 games, especially the Cheparinov – Topalov matchup?

what happens if they end up with kings only, do they have to play again or bck wins???
jb. thks sincerely are u excited for this year??
Topa looks constipated. He needs more fiber or perhaps he needs to remove Danailov’s remote controlled suppository…
First anonymous: “no draws” is wrong. No draw *offers* is the rule. Threefold repetitions, perpetual check, and theoretically drawn positions can all be declared draws by the arbiter. See

Cheparinov will lose in good ole Eastern style to his boss. After his loss to Ivanchuk Topalov will need this kind of help. And if it doesn’t happen now, in the second game it will – if still needed.
– Mr X –
a draw of course. what else
Does a result which would convince all “fixed games believers” even exist?
1) If Topalov will win, then all will say that Cheparinov lost deliberatly.
2) If it will be drawn, then you will say it was pre-aranged.
3) So only Cheparinov’s win will satisfy you, or does anybody have something against this result too?
How can you play chess if there is “no draws” allowed? This obviously is a misprint that is meant to mean “no draw offer” is allowed.
After all, what if you end up with a K+N vs K endgame? It’s a draw.
I predict a theoretically drawn position. but, with Topalov he can win big or make a huge blunder and lose.
We’ll see.
I wouldn’t be suprized by something close to 0.64-0.36
I just loved that remark ‘Danailov’s remote controlled suppository’. Anything is possible these days and certainly in the future. Guess all chess players need to be strip searched and probed thoroughly before they start their games!
