Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I wish I could go there to watch the match woth my own eyes…^_^
Who is gonna stop you ?
and the news about Ivanchuk is where?
Read the original article and you will know.
what? no screen separating the players from the audience? That is a big mistake. the real problem is not really cheating with electronic equipment. It is cheating through eye contact. For example, Danailov can have a set of signals and can potentially signal to Topalov during the game. This is what Topailov was accused of in San Luis and in Corus.
I think Kamsky is making a big mistake by not insisting on a screen. E#ven Anand and Kramnik had it in Bonn – when neither had been accused of cheating by making eye contact.
that is a very nice logo.
The logo looks like two crows fighting over a piece of fried chicken.
Ok, I’m explaining the eagles on the logo – one of the most popular places in Sofia is the “Eagle’s bridge”, and there are 4 esgles, 2 of them are at the logo.
European eagles = terrorism
God bless chessdom guys
Well, the audience will be kept at a distance of 10 meters, so it will be very hard to make eye contact.
The food/beverages table will also be self-serve, so Topalov and Kamsky will not have to interact with other people. However, I didn’t mention if blueberry yogurt is on the forbidden items list; so it could still be possible to pass a message that way… 😉
“Danailov can have a set of signals and can potentially signal to Topalov during the game.”
Wrong again! Danailov uses a remote controlled bishop that vibrates. Topa knows how to move when his bishop vibrates around in his nether regions. You read it here first true believers!
The board met and there will be no penalty for ivanchuk.
