@buri:
Yeah, Topalov has right. He is weaker than Anand and Kramnik if you look at their playing strenght and not at the computer made preparations. He couldn´t find the right moves as sharp as Anand did.

I would´t compare topalov with Keres.
Keres >>>>> topalov. :)

Carlsen, Kramnik, Giri, and Kasparov, oh my. This must be the most impressive list of helpers that any chessplayers has ever had. Maybe if Topalov were a little bit nicer person, he would have won the match after all.

And the interview by Bulgarian Chess Federation president Stefan Sergiev was even worse (same thread at Dailydirt):
“Anand showed absolutely nothing. He showed that he’s far from his best years … He simply waited for our player to go wrong and then struck. “

What is Mr Sergiev talking about here? " Anand showed absolutely nothing"...dis he expect Anand to pull down his pant zipper and show something??

Anand was th

Anand mentions that a way of making chess more watchable would be to provide some kind of instant assessment after each move: a + or - for example. WAS actually done in the 2008 world championship live broadcasts by FOIDOS. They provide a line graph showing the fortunes of the live game over time - a horizontal "=" line with the progress line moving above or below that depending on whether white or black had the advantage at each move. I think the assessments were done by Shredder.
I thought it did add a lot of watchability to the live broacast. I wonder why it wasn't repeated for 2010 - maybe it was FOIDOS' intellectual property?

Topalov probably missed the last train. And he is frustrated. And we all know that he is a notorious sore loser. He and Danailov invented Toilet Scandal and forced Kramnik to use common lavatory. Anand and Topalov - they are poles apart - both over the board and outside the board. Happy that we have the right man at the helm.
