El final de Anand contra Carlsen es una maravilla.
Topalov va toda pastilla a ganar el torneo.
Anand is beginning to be the Angstgegner of Carlsen. He is screwing up great positions against the champ.
In the analysis of game one, where the game Aronian-Anand Mexico 2007 is mentioned, the moves 10…g4. 11.Be2 are missing, otherwise 11. hxg5 would be very strong….
I haven’t seen Topalov so strong for a long time. Taking advantage of very small inaccurate oponent moves by a serries of strong moves. Impressive wins, everything seems so easy… Congatulations!
I BELIEVE IS GREAT THAT TOPALOV IS AHEAD. He is one of my favorite players and it is good to see him back on the top of world chess. Ever since Elista he has not recover his full strengt. Still, I wish Anand wins the tournament.
I am looking forward for the Topalov vs Anand game, that one should decide who the champion will be!!
Carlsen-Anand
“64. Be6 Ke5 and the White bishop has to leave the h3-c8 diagonal when 64…Rg3 will pick up the pawn.”
I’d rather pick up the bishop first there.
Aha yes, that comment belongs fits better in the line 62. Kd3 Ke5! 63. Bc8 Rg8.
