There must be some tactical line now which burns out to a draw, no?

Did anyone hear there might finally happen the Fischer-Karpov match, I am not joking! There are millions for this match.  If Fischer wins he will continue to claim he is the REAL World ch  Wink

Yes.  I heard about a Fischer-Karpov match in Gothic Chess.  Karpov has signed on, but not Fischer yet.

Topa's stopped to think - good sign, surely; did he not expect ...h6? It looks generally useful, obviously.

wow - very interesting way to play from Topalov - gives up a4 but now all the Black pieces except the bishop are awful, especially the Knight
