Mar-09-05 | | FLCLlove: Not as fun on time but it looked like Topalov was in a winning position anyway... |
|
Mar-09-05 | | Andrey: Well folks it looks like tomorrows game will be a good one, i hope Topalov doesn't push too hard and looses tomorrow which would make anand #2, Topalov deserves to be #2. |

 | | Gypsy: 36...Rc4 37.Bxc4 Nxc4+ 38.Kf2 Nxd2 39.Ke1 Bxg2 ... was interesting. |
|
Mar-09-05 | | azaris: I always hear that today's GMs are very good at defending but at least in time trouble even top 20 players get railroaded like this. |

 | | Annie K.: I don't think poor Vallejo had time to resign. Interesting game, anyway, and that gets me 2/3 for today too. ;) |

Mar-09-05 | | hintza: Thanks <chessgames.com>! Should be a good game tomorrow if Topalov really goes for it, which he clearly should and almost definately will. |

|
Mar-09-05 | | cade: Vallejo offered a draw after his 16th move. As if Topalov would accept that against such an inferior player. |
|
Mar-09-05
 | | Gypsy: I am not sure whether Black won in this game more as a result of excellent technical play by Topalov or poor positional judgements by Vallejo. It may be a tie between the two. But rather than rag on Vallejo, I will just say that Topalov's two rook-transfer maneuvers -- first, to the c-file; second, behind the a/b-pawns -- impressed me greatly. |

Nov-01-07 | | RandomVisitor: Neil McDonald in "The Art of Planning in Chess" praises 30...Rb8 and claims that the improvement 31.Nc2 would be met by the "formidable reply" 31...Bc4. But after 32.Ba4 axb4 33.b3 Rc7 34.Nd4 Ba6 35.Rc2 white is doing ok. |
