While Topalov did go 2.5/6 in Mtel, he also didn't start at -2 and he didn't play the same opponent every single round. Tournaments are very different animals from matches, part of the reason why incredibly strong match players aren't necessary good tournament players and vice versa. | ||

"Very worrying news from Elista Danailov (Topalov`s manager) says there are scandalous omissions in the organization of the match and there is a double standart treatment of the players. Topalov is being searched before the games with a mine detector, a device that is not reccommended to be used on people. His rest room is being guarded by 6 policemen and Kramnik's by none. Kramnik used his room in the first game 27 times for a total of 2 hours, while Topalov used it only 3 times for 24 mins. Various people had access to the rooms during the games and there was no camera control. Also there have been a lot of people with mobile phones on and other electronical devices in the playing hall." I think it was gross mistake to play this match on russian territory. Everything before and during the match is being done to distract and psyche Topalov out. He would have nailed the second game down any day in normal conditions | ||

But people are paying *way* too much attention, IMO, to Topalov's blunders and acting as if they're the sole reason for the outcomes. Kramnik's blunders, in fact, are what gave Topalov such a chance to win. Look at both sides of the story and realize that while both players blundered, not just Topalov. While Topalov did go 2.5/6 in Mtel, he also didn't start at -2 and he didn't play the same opponent every single round. Tournaments are very different animals from matches, part of the reason why incredibly strong match players aren't necessary good tournament players and vice versa. The games are also around 70 moves each and Topalov is in better physical condition than Kramnik. This should be an exciting match. | ||
