Here is the full report.
Matches between attackers and defenders don’t always produce great games. The Alekhine-Capablanca match is an example. I hope this match produces a game that will be featured in future “classic” game compilations.
Topalov is odds-on favourite being No. 1 and having never lost a game to Kamsky… yet. looking forward to this match!
Let us hope kamsky will win!
okay
My money’s on Topalov.
My heart’s with Kamsky.
