| Mar-16-24 | | VictorVonDoom: Kramnik's first great victory |
|
| Mar-01-25 | | Petrosianic: Another charge leveled by Topalov against Kasparov (see the 1989 Barcelona World Cup for the other one): TOPALOV: <"A few years later at the 1992 Manila Olympiad, Kasparov was again the big star. Leader of the Russian team, he confidently led the new state to a gold medal. But this didn't satisfy him; he wanted all the trophies. At first the Olympic jury wanted to give the top brilliancy price to the Rogers-Milos game, but this made Kasparov angry. He set up a new jury, with himself as a member, and convinced the other members to vote for his victory over Nikolic."> Again, Topalov's story seems lacking in important details. How does one of the players in an event just set up his own committee to overrule the official committee? Even with Kasparov's clout, that begs explanation. Of course, unofficially, Kasparov can have a group of players agree among themselves that any game they like is the best one, but who actually got the official brilliancy prize here? |

Timman wrote about the incident as did others." |
