Topalov is best!
Those standings have got to be wrong: I thought each player got 1 point from a draw?
Correct points:
1. Topalov, Veselin g BUL 2777 14
2. Aronian, Levon g ARM 2737 13
3. Ivanchuk, Vassily g UKR 2781 12
4. Carlsen, Magnus g NOR 2775 12
5. Radjabov, Teimour g AZE 2744 7
6. Anand, Viswanathan g IND 2798 7
That nose bothers me.
A pity Chokey didn’t win yesterday. He could have shuffled the rankings and win a strong tournament once again. Now Topa and Aronian are favorite.
Who cares about Topalov! He is a dishonest chess player and has brought disgrace at the higest levels of chess.
You’re right about that!
