  ketchuplover: as long as the N stays there he should be ok.
Jan-21-06  cuendillar: <How do you "accidentally" take something with a piece???> Make a deep analysis, play the intended second move first.
Jan-21-06  Averageguy: 34.Qd1 ?
Jan-21-06  vspatel: Sokolov should resign unless he can find perpetual.
Jan-21-06  Ulhumbrus: <Hoozits: How do you "accidentally" take something with a piece???> You touch a knight by accident, whereupon the rules compel you to make a move with the knight.
Jan-21-06  OneArmedScissor: I was thinking Qd1 as well.
Jan-21-06  dakgootje: huh strange move...
Jan-21-06  maxxowar: 1 min
Jan-21-06  Hoozits: Rg2 runs into mate after ...,e3 and then Rf1 to follow.
Jan-21-06  winter 1963: I think Rg2 allows a perpetual? Not sure.
Jan-21-06  dakgootje: 34. ♘d4 played

  cu8sfan: Sokolov has 47 seconds left.
Jan-21-06  whatthefat: Perhaps he wanted to play the sac, but thought it was a tad unsound; so to softn Topalov up he pretended it was an error! :)
Jan-21-06  Ulhumbrus: On 34 Ra1 Rf2 35 Kxf2 Qxh2+ begins a king hunt.I haven't analysed the result of it.
Jan-21-06  jhoro: <Sokolov should resign> i think there are planty of ways topalov can blunder, e.g. Rg2 is a draw
Jan-21-06  zinos: well, this was a lousy game. it's pity anand only drew and now topalov is first with like this and the one against kamsky
Jan-21-06  PaulLovric: i hear that fat lady
Jan-21-06  vspatel: Sokolov is in time trouble!
