Topalov showed off his chess muscles today against Vallejo-Pons of Spain. He won the first two games then drew the third to win the best of four match. Vallejo-Pons made the score more respectable by winning the final game but the match was already over.
Topalov will face Anand tomorrow in the final. Anand is a rapid chess specialist. However, he has been playing a lot of chess lately and he may be tired. This makes it a very interesting matchup.
Who do you think will win tomorrow? Anand or Topalov?

i’ll go for Anand although Topa looks stronger
I am an Anand fan. I am very disappointed in his performance at the Olympics. I hope he wins. it would make for a more interesting possibility of having a full Championship match between Topalov and Anand.
If Topalov wins easy here, that would make it harder for Anand to get a shot at the title in a Match. of course he will get a shot in 2007 at the World Championsip round robin in Mexico anyway.
Anand.
