And just as I say that, Kramnik plays the horrible 35... Nf8?. I'm sorry, but to my amateurish eyes, that's just a HORIBBLE move. He's going down now... | ||

Impressive comeback by Topalov. He now leads the match by 1 point with 3 games to go. However, to be the undisputed champion in public opinion, Topalov would have to lead by 2 games since one of his wins came from a forfeit. I think Kramnik should play smart chess and take an opening if he sees it instead of going all out for a win. | ||

Agree about the "undesputness" /if there such a word  /, although there always will be people that will say that Topalov team break Kramnik's concentration and etc.Now the interesting part is coming - Kramnik MUST play for a win. Lets see how will he do that. I am so excited. | ||

But I think Kramnik would have won this long ago if not for Topalov's team's mindgames. Really, Kramnik should have just pulled a Fischer and left after the forfeit. In fact, even if Kramnik loses every single game, Topavlov won't be considered the undisputed champ: technically yes, in players minds, no. Just a player who can only win off the chessboard. | ||

Topa found his form, and now is going to run kramnik into the ground... imo he is undisputedly the world champ, and itll be confirmed after the conlcusion of this series...Topalov has to win by 2 games for it to be considered an actual win, although he'd technically take it. If he wins by 1 game, then if you take the forfeit out it would be drawn, and Kramnik would have retained the title.

The games topa have lost have been remembered for Topa's mistakes not kramniks good play, imo this entire series has been topa dominated (all events coming from topa) | ||

[Robot 1] 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.g3 Bb4+ 5.Bd2 Be7 6.Bg2 0-0 7.0-0 c6 8.Bf4 Nbd7 9.Qc2 a5 10.Rd1 Nh5 11.Bc1 b5 12.cxd5 cxd5 13.e4 dxe4 14.Qxe4 Rb8 15.Qe2 Nhf6 16.Bf4 Rb6 17.Ne5 Nd5 18.Bxd5 exd5 19.Nc3 Nf6 20.Nxb5 Ba6 21.a4 Ne4 22.Rdc1 Qe8 23.Rc7 Bd8 24.Ra7 f6 25.Nd7 Rf7 26.Nxb6 Rxa7 27.Nxd5 Rd7 Line Kramnik fighting back! White is clearly better in this position and is up a couple of pawns. Black has the two bishops, but they aren't worth the extra material. White should be able to consolidate his material and win this easily. | ||
