Oct-21-07  Mateinonenik: <BlackNightmare>Agreed. These type of games will just give the Topalov bashers more chances to bash him.

  tamar: Magnus dons his Capablanca costume and makes it look easy two weeks before Halloween.
Oct-21-07  Rolfo: <anandrulez> I think Topa is in the midst of a 'Chesscrisis' where he obviously is performing in the lower part of his natural realm. He will improve in sometime, but may be not be as strong as after San Luis. The youngsters (Carlsen, Karjakin, Bu, Radjabov) will be tough nuts for Topa ever after this
Oct-21-07  badest: <Rolfo> Well, it would have been a surprise if it was classical, but blindfold... not exactly Topa's cup of tea... :)
Oct-22-07  Shams: <badest><Well, it would have been a surprise if it was classical, but blindfold... not exactly Topa's cup of tea... :)> exactly. hard to see Danailov's signals with the blindfold over your eyes. :)
Oct-22-07  badest: <Shams> ... and I guess the implanted chip needs light to work, right?
