| M.D. Wilson: Why is the word "troll" so popular on this website? |

| adhitthana: In his annotation Kasparov notes that Topalov missed 31...Rd1+ 32.Kb2 Ra8 33.Qb6 Qd4+ 34.Qxd4 Rxd4 35Bd7!?
Kasparov then gives 35...Rd2 and writes <After 35.Bd7!? Rd2 36.Bc6 f5 37.Rb6 Ra7 38.Be8 Rd4 39.f4 Black is nearly stalemated. 39…Rc4 40.Bf7 Rxb4+ 41.axb4 Rxf7 42.c3
After Ra7 the only way is to play 43.Re6 a5 44.Re1 and we come across a new mating construction. This time it is a front checkmate from a1; the Rook mates the black King on the a-rank.)> but Rybka 2.2 (the free version) gives 35....Rd6...and it looks quite drawish (to Rybka 2.2 anyway).
I'm sure this must have been looked at before though... |

| Postal: I written hundreds of e-mails to GM's around the world. Most of them consider this to be a pretty good damn game. I still receive hundreds of replies from GM's around the world talking about this game. Keep 'em coming guys!! |

| Colonel Mortimer: <Postal> At one time I had over a 10,000 requests from GMs, IMs and a few up-and-coming FMs to annotate this game but my computer crashed as I was finalising 300 GB of analysis and I lost all the email addresses of those requesting my annotations. <Tip - you can email me again folks> - this time I'm planning 500 GB of analysis, demonstrating that Topalov had a win in a 100 move side variation. |

| Colonel Mortimer: I locked myself away for 302 days to work on analysing this game. My annotations run into thousands of variations no one has ever seen before..literally thousands. Garry called me a few months ago as he was doing a lecture on the fly - he needed to brush up that variation I discovered where Topalov was winning after 96 moves. |

| WhiteRook48: anyway Kasparov was really surprised on 1... d6 |
|

|
| LIFE Master AJ: <WR48> You mean Topalov? (He was Black in this game and played 1...d6.) Or ... do you mean that Kasparov was surprised by Topalov's choice of opening? |
|
| Aug-06-09 |
| Postal: <Colonel Mortimer> Please give Garry my regards (just mention Postal, he'll know who you're talking about!) and congrats on your 1000's of variations! I could only find Topalov winning after 98 moves, I'll have to go back and recalculate to see where I took a misstep!! |

Leave it run another 405 hours - you'll see Black has a drawing resource on move 77. |

| jonico: What do you think about 24...Bxd5??? It makes a diference??? |
|

| WhiteRook48: white is counting on Qg1+ to work in the final position |
|

| anwarparves: one of the best games i have ever seen played by kasperov.really it is a nice tactical game. |
|

| Furansowakun: Why in the 25 move, Queen doesn't take the white tower on e7 ? |
|
| Oct-01-09 |
| Jim Bartle: Because then 26. Qxe4+ would win for white. |
|
| Oct-10-09 |
| Thymo: I'm far below this level, but I can't help myself shivering with excitement at every move! *Shivers* If I faced Kasparov in a real match, I wouldn't courteously thank no, I would RUN! |

| isthmus: I still don't get why 28...Qxd5 prevents the 29.Kb2 and 30.Qb3+ mate that 28....Bxd5 can't prevent. Am I missing something obvious? After 28...Qxd5 and 29.Kb2, what resource is left for Black? |
|
| Oct-18-09 |
| Cercatore: The best match EVER. |
|
| Nov-08-09 |
| Hvonnus: I agree with you Isthmus. I don't understand why whites didn't play 29.Kb2 instead of 29.Ra2. I didn't find any resource for blacks after this move... |
|
| Nov-13-09 |
| Kinghunt: <isthmus>, <Hvonnus>, after 29. Kb2?, black has 29...Qd4!, which not only saves the draw, but also wins, as it ends white's attack and leaves black up significant material. |
