	39.Qa6 Qb2+ 40.Kf1 already played. Must be relayer delay. (Playchess server board showed White losing on time. )

	This is all in hand still, is it? Say 40...Rh6, for example? What's White doing about that - ah, maybe 41 Qd3 attcking ...f5 again?

	Good call, Keano! Apparently, by the way, Topalov has contracted herpes. You couldn't make it up, could you?
