True, but this match has more frequent rest days (after 2 games, there is a rest day) than most tournaments and the match is also fairly short. I don't know if Topalov's better physical conditioning will be as much as factor due tot his short period than... say... the first Kaspaorv-Karpov match.

Kasparov is the best (ex)World Chess Champion ever. Both Kramnik+Topalov combined together would not be able to beat him in a 12-game match if he had not decided to retire.

Kramnik ALREADY defeated The Man-eater (Kasparov) in a match (2000 year IIRC).
And Kasparov is getting older ..., so your state is very doubtfull.

Well, I knew about the fact that Kasparov had lost to Kramnik (who was once upon a time, a former student and protégé of his) as you've mentioned but of course, Kramnik is the best successor to Kasparov and not Topalov or Anand atm.

Out of 2 games played so far between Kramnik and Topalov, Kramnik is leading the series 2-0. Probably more through Topalov overconfidence and reckless mistakes, Kramnik won the first game which should have been a draw and won the second game which should have been a loss.

Looking for entertaining game today. GL to Topalov.

i have an idea . This game gonna start in about 2 hour . Watching them play for like 6 hour really boring . Why we dont play couple of blitz while watching ? It would be fun and make us know more about each other . Playchess server is the best i think , becasue they broadcast the match as well .
About me I am just a novice player , got around 1200 Blitz after like 65 games there .

chess at this level is about capitalizing mistakes.

the one player that makes more mistakes will be the eventual loser (if the other player is able to capitalize them). if both players make no mistakes on a perfectly suited position then we have a draw.

people really need to stop saying "oh he won cause the other guy made mistake". It's very easy for everyone sitting at the outside to say that. I would like to see any of them face to face sitting in the chessboard with a monster like Kramnik whose presence is already intimidating right infront of you in the other chair. Errors, that's part of the game, to make mistakes, blunder, choke, fail under pressure.... if not ... ask Kasparov about losing game #6 to deep blue in 1998 (99?) with a blunder move of a textbook opening !

game #1 the f5 move.... what did you expect ? the guy had been playing for 6 frigging hours... do you really expect your brain to work fresh and exactly as it did in the beginning ? They're humans, not machines ....they get tired you know ?

topalov has commited more mistakes than kramnik, and that's why kramnik is winning fare and square to me.

I don't understand what you mean ?

Kramnik defeated Kasparov in 2000 +2-0=13 ....... undefeated

The only other player that won a championship match undefeated was Capablanca vs Lasker +4-0=10, and everyone knows Lasker was no match for Capablanca as he was the clear better player and favorite (it was like an OSL final between Midas vs Testie). Kramnik vs Kasparov was like Anytime beating Julyzerg 3-0 in OSL Final

Not even Fischer nor Kasparov himself were able to do that.

right Nada has 400 apm..... "f**king proplayer" . -no need to use the brown word by the way, we're all educated persons here and chess players -

let's suppose he gets involved in the longest game ever,,,, 6 hours long and still playing ....do you still expect him to have 400 apm and keep his flawless micro by the sixth hour ?

And yet, without going into the specifics of the match clauses, Kramnik clearly didn't want to play Kasparov a rematch. Kasparov may have been overconfident going into the first match, true, but he would've been a vastly different opponent the second time around.
