h4te Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 lol it will be a major klpd if he doesnt win it :hehe: ^ jinxed? :nono::nono::nono:
yoda Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 lol it will be a major klpd if he doesnt win it :hehe: not really. he has already won it twice already and at his age (40) is considered past his prime. in fact would be commendable if he can manage to pull it off here.
patriot Posted May 3, 2010 Author Posted May 3, 2010 Anand is a momentum player - He hardly ever squanders a lead. Tomorrow - 2nd half of the tournament he is opening with white and has a point lead. If he wins tomorrow. He will no doubt win the Championship. There is no effing way Topalov can recover and beat Anand twice. Hoping Anand comes up with an opening other than 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3 d5 4.Bg2 like he has in the last 3 times.

He has won it 3 times 2000, 2007, 2008. 2010 would be the 4th time he becomes World Champion.
Nova Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 He has won it 3 times 2000' date=' 2007, 2008. 2010 would be the 4th time he becomes World Champion.[/quote'] :hatsoff:

yoda Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 very interesting to just replay the game move by move from here http://www.anand-topalov.com/en/live.html
patriot Posted May 3, 2010 Author Posted May 3, 2010 yea i missed the 2000 one - didn't that have some controversy over split championship' date=' etc?[/quote'] Yeah Kasparov tried to create a different championship. But Vishy was the legitimate FIDE champion.
patriot Posted May 3, 2010 Author Posted May 3, 2010 Started with the Catalan again :whine: And Topalov was very well prepared for it :whine: Phew.......that was some scare that Topalov gave. Vishy will need to come up with other opening. Probably Alekhine's Defence with a 4 pawn attack or some other variation in Alekhine's Defence ? Hats off for holding his nerve. He really is fighting in hostile territory. Topalov's manager Silvio Danailov is a big time mofo cheat. He has been taped in the past walking out of the room to talk on his cell after each move of Topalav's opponent, allegedly getting Deep Fritz moves and then communicating the same to Topalov through a multitude of gestures. http://www.crikey.com.au/2010/05/03/world-championship-chess-spy-versus-spy-in-sofia-as-topalov-trails/ When Topalov earned a shot at the world match title in Elista in 2006 and Danailov, with only frivolous evidence, accused Topalov’s opponent Vladimir Kramnik of obtaining computer assistance during his toilet trips, Topalov was the person whose reputation was trashed. (Notably, Topalov still believes he was cheated by the Russians in Elista.) But it was the refrain “Those Bulgarians will do anything,” that bounced off Anand before the current match; Anand went ahead and agreed to play in Sofia anyway. Anand was advised on internet forums to check his room for bugs, bring his own chef, scan the playing hall for electronic signalling devices, avoid using umbrellas, and 1001 other ideas that seemed to have come straight out of Spy vs Spy. Those bastich Bulgarians din't give him time to recover after a 40 hour road trip from Frankurt to Sofia nor did they agree to postpone the start. Anand is still leading and God willing will hold his nerve and come through this.
Bumblebee Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 ^^^^ i play soccer with some east european guys and some bulgarians, they all are feckkin cheats
Nova Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Those bastich Bulgarians din't give him time to recover after a 40 hour road trip from Frankurt to Sofia nor did they agree to postpone the start. They postponed the tournament by 1 day...I guess something is better than nothing.
patriot Posted May 4, 2010 Author Posted May 4, 2010 F.U.C.K :(( A solitary error in the endgame with Black and Anand resigns. Match squared 4-4 with 4 more rounds to go. 54th move Bishop Bc6 was a screw up IMO, Bd3 would have have prolonged a seeming DRAW, because with Bd3, Topalov could not have played d7 because of Ke7. Topalov IMO psyched Anand out by unrelenting efforts to complicate the endgame. This game seemed I certain draw. I've seen Anand draw out of far more tricky circumstances. 4-4, with 4 more games to go. Both get 2 shots each with White. Anand's turn with White next. Go Vishy, you fighter !!! :cheer: :isalute:
yoda Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 was watching the game when they had even pieces towards the 50th move and then was feeling something wrong when the black pawn was taken by the white king.
