What cables ?

Topalov really needs to stfu and start presenting some real back up evidence, instead of just sitting there and doing cry baby accusing everyone OJ Simpson style.

And he talks about the weird moves Kramnik made, but what about the STUPID moves he made that threw wins and lost the chance to draw games, like that f6 pawn move ?

Let's say Kramnik cheated during the 12 games, how can Toplaov justify his loss in the tie breakers ? Scared of physical damage ? Gimme a break man.

Chuck Norris owns the greatest Poker Face of all-time. It helped him win the 1983 WSOP holding just a Get out of Jail Free Monopoloy card, and a green #4 card from the game UNO, against an AAA KK flop and his rival folding AK after Chuck raised him ALL-IN

The proof is ample and obvious. The problem is that so many people prefer to ignore it (see the post below) and talk trash .

Direct proof:

1. Official protocol, stating that inernet (UTP-5) cables were found under the ceiling tiles of Kramnik's toilet, signed by the match director, the chief arbiter, 2 members of the delegation (Makropoulos and Bovaev) and Topalov's manager.

2. Photoraph of the cables, published in non-tabloid newspapers (Trud(leading Bulgarian newspaper), Marca and possibly others).

3. Videotapes showing Kramnik visited toilet before each move and closed the door.

4. Guilty reaction of Kramnik and his manager which did everything to stop showing those tapes to journalists.

Indirect proof:

1. Analysis showing that Kramnik's moves corresponded to Fritz when he visited toilet, and were different from Fritz when he didn't.

The fact that ChessBase and Russian media did everything to suppres this evidence shows how corrupt and biased are chess administrators and media that reports the events. The opinions here show that a great percentage of their readers are biased too.

I don't know what's funnier, Topalov going fishcer-esque crazy or all the Bulgarians that stand by their countryman. Wait, neither is funny.. both are quite sad..

There simply is no evidence. I hope Kramnik will take this to court. A direct accuse of cheating is not funny anymore.
Cables in the toilett. -_-;;. Yeah i bet those cables really helped Kramnik alot.
You guys should read what mig from chessninjas wrote about the interview. There is really nothing else to say.

well i am very suspicious of this, certainly deserves an unbiased and detailed investigation.
