I get kind of bored in Chess right after a Blunder, while I am actually very Fanatic in Chess.<br /><br />I think by myself: '' Am I really that good in Chess..? '' And then recently I came up with the counter-thought: '' Would Anatoli Karpov asked himself this Question when he made a Blunder against Viswanathan Anand in the Opening-Stage..?

They were rooting for Topalov and he not only lost the match, he lost his reputation and will now forever be an icon of bad sportsmanship. An OTB defeat is one thing, but nobody was prepared for a defeat of that magnituted. For anyone who was rooting for him, it must be a pretty bitter pill to swallow. Hence, they try to shift the blame.

He signed a contract saying that he'd have to re-qualify for a title shot if he lost, and then refused to re-qualify. If he'd wanted a direct rematch he should have just put it in the contract in the first place.<BR/><BR/>He wanted to be thought of as the kind of champ who didn't need an advantage like that.

I remember his winning move against Topalov in the rapid chess game #4. It was so obvious and yet he thought rather long untill he made it. Now he did not take his time. <BR/>I guess that is what he will do again in games to come "if you see a good move (Qe3), wait, there might be a better one (Kg8)"<BR/><BR/>I bet that after Qe3 Kramnik thought he was winning.

He seems to be able to seed strategic advantages which then grow to winning positions. That's impressive and I expect him to win.<BR/>I doubt if FRITZ10 is on terms with RYBKA 2.1: FRITZ09 is 106 ELO points behind RYBKA 1.2 in the SSDF 'league'.<BR/>gAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13118012.post-1164667244899362852006-11-27T16:40:00.000-06:002006-11-27T16:40:00.000-06:00I feel sorry for Kramnik after this.
