	Machines, anyone. Has anyone moved after 31 Ra1? I wonder if this would be more exciting or less if we could see the damned site!

	31 Ra1. Is it me or might White have some chances here?

	Looks like it will go into Blitz.

	Ah, temporary pawn sacrifice from Topa: looks to be heading for a draw.

	Server, evidently. 21....Be4 22 Rb3 played. I guess c3 is protected by Ptero's Nf5 trick still.

	Or that, indeed. Is Topalov thinking an eternity after Rab1 or is the server down again?

	Ah. Rc7 was not good. Will black get his rook on h8 to play or not?

	Don't check me with no lightweight stuff.

	Some tricks here - Black has some ways to lose immediately. What's the machine say, Klick? Does ...Rc7 Nb5 not win immediately, for example?

	Black is slightly better after 20...Na4, no? Bxe7 Kxe7, rook comes out and play against pawn on c3. Rab1 played. Rc7 looks fine.

	Wow, Rab1; didn't see that. Susan P likes White suddenly.

	Topa is slightly better if anything, I suppose. I don't think it's anything too serious yet.
