Topalov has his back to the wall again, and here he only has time for over the board tactics.

Excellent - Nigel doesn't often make me laugh, but I'm going to make an exception. Let's hope he's right about the result and not about the lawyers - I'm supposed to be working now.....

1-0! Way to go!

Will be interesting to see what Topalov will do next game. Maybe we even will se 1.e4?!

from http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/ Quote:
30.Rxe8 Rxe8 31.a4 b4 32.Ne4 Nxe4 33.fxe4 (White has a BIG advantage now. Topalov brough this to himself by completely misplaying his position by retreating his Bishops for no reason whatsoever.)

33...Nf6 (Another bad move. 33...Bd6 is better. Now, I am not sure if Black can hold this position. It looks very bad!)

34.d6 Nxe4 35.d7 Rd8 36.Bxa6 (White is winning now.)

Agreed!

Or not, of course. Maybe this is better - that rook on e4 is awfully ineptly placed.
