Jun-04-14  whiteshark: time displayed: 0:04 - 0:05
Jun-04-14  Shams: Just in time to see the kill!
Jun-04-14  Ulhumbrus: On 36...Nd2+ 37 Rxd2 Re1+ becomes possible. This suggests changing the move order with 36...Re1 at once eg 37 Rxe1 Nd2+
Jun-04-14  whiteshark: <36...Re1!!>
Jun-04-14  whiteshark: resigns
Jun-04-14  Marmot PFL: Topalov blundered in time trouble. His opponents not his own.

  tamar: Topalov never really had anything with his Nd4-f5-h6+ attack.

Grischuk cold-bloodedly let it proceed, then shot back with ...Qf2 and ...f5 forcing Queens off, and leaving the knight stranded on h6.

Jun-04-14  csmath: Bad game by Topalov, he is really not playing good lately.
Jun-04-14  tarlzic 1966: Nice shot

  WannaBe: Interesting idea by Topalov with 1. Nf3, and instead of the usual ...Nf6, we get ...c5

Trying to convince the World Team to play 1. Nf3 against GM Naiditsch. =)

Jun-05-14  Willchess: Nice attack by black
Jun-05-14  Rob Morrison: I'm surprised Topalov got as much the look of an attack as he did because his opening was terrible. Seems to me black is just better after 16 . . . O-O. Instructive example of how not to play the Sicilian with white.
