  WannaBe: <you vs yourself> yahoo, intermediate, veteran vortex.
Jan-21-06  Madman99X: I expect d4 with the polish defense to follow.
Jan-21-06  you vs yourself: I think Sokolov is a d4 player. So, I expect e4 from Topy. But if it's a petrov, I predict a draw.
Jan-21-06  SneechLatke: Ruy Lopez, Topalov misses a shot on move 33, drawn in 55 moves.
Jan-21-06  whatthefat: These predictions are getting complex to the point of being simply lame.
Jan-21-06  lentil: i predict that one player or the other will win or draw.
Jan-21-06  SniperOnG7: <you vs yourself> If Sokolov plays a petrov - plz no :( - i hope Topalov can annihilate it...somehow...
Jan-21-06  SniperOnG7: <lentil>
<i predict that one player or the other will win or draw.> nah...they both lose ;)
Jan-21-06  Prometheus128: Petroff, cochrane gambit ( :) ), Topalov wins.

Actually, I have no idea.

Jan-21-06  Xerox: I predict the halloweengambit... that would be fun:)
Jan-21-06  SniperOnG7: The organizers at top tournaments should ban some openings, in particular one that starts with P...Lol, mayb not as the players may feel their rights have been abused :)
Jan-21-06  SEMENELIN: is there a game today??
Jan-21-06  Xerox: <SEMENELIN: is there a game today??> yes, and more than one:)
Jan-21-06  Xerox: the game starts within a hour...

  dakgootje: The score at the moment: Ivan Sokolov beat Veselin Topalov 3 to 2, with 6 draws. (of course excluding this game, as its recognised as a draw, so if you look up Sokolov vs Topalov youll get Ivan Sokolov beat Veselin Topalov 3 to 2, with 7 draws.)
Jan-21-06  Prometheus128: Game starts in 24 minutes.

Jan-21-06  percyblakeney: Not a win for any of the three Dutch players yet, and I don't think there will be one today either, at least not in this game...
