Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-04-06   RookFile: Associated Press - In a stunning development, Silvio Danailov revealed that world champion to be Kasparov was cheating in this game. Between moves, Kasparov would get on the phone, and consult one Veselin Topalov for advice on what to play. It was because of this event, Danailov said, that he realized that one day, Topalov must become world champion. This is all the more impressive when you realize Topalov was only 5 years old at the time.

Oct-06-06   RookFile: I believe it was located behind the paper towel dispenser.
Jan-18-07   ivoivanov: Your comment is more than rediculous!!!
Jan-18-07   BadTemper: stunning black bind
gorgeous game ive never seen
danailov plays pretty well
2300 surely
Jul-03-07   sanyas: Great play by Black here - 5-year old Topalov's rating must have been 3000, or thereabouts.

  Benzol: Nice bind by Kasparov. White is practically in zugzwang. If 31.Kc2 g4 followed by 32...Nd4+
Mar-25-08   mistreaver: 14 Bxf6 giving DSB and leaving himself with LSB is strange
Mar-25-08   Bobsterman3000: <mistreaver> good point. That bishop exchange killed Danailov in this game, as it ultimately gave Kasparov's a5 bishop a very powerful scope.
Feb-16-09   Jim Bartle: I was looking at KID games Kasparov had won, and look who he defeated back in 1980.

maybe he was trying to make a draw any way he could and wanted the opposite colored bishops.
