If you’re having problems playing it in chesspublisher here is an alternative: Topalov vs. Svidler
hate to see a guy who is known to ‘cheat a bit’ winning.
Topalov is “known” to cheat? This is news to me. I believe the correct wording should be “has been accused by Morozevich who was simply angry at losing to him”.
