| sozinattack: simply awesome. |

| setebos: Why is it awesome if he created it at home and not over the board? Awesome capacity for work but not necessarily awesome creativity. :) |

| dehanne: <Yes, it just kills me how some allege that Topalov cheats with computers. Which chess engine plays chess like this?>
Jester, perchance? |
|

| sozinattack: Topolav's perfect endgame is not the result of home preparation. |

| Major Dude: Lets not forget that Topalov was on the losing side of another brilliancy himself, Linares 1994 against Karpov. Karpov sacked both rooks in that game as well. Karpov vs Topalov, 1994 |

| djmercury: Instead of 22. ... b4, the suggested improvement is Bxc5! 23. dxc5 Qxc5+ 24. Kh1. Now the exposed king white position should black allow counter attacking chances. The position gets very sharp and unbalanced, but also interesting. |

| RuyLopezFire: This game was nice played. It shows how a pair of bishops (with a pair of passers) beat a pair of rooks! |

| alexrawlings: I don't know if this has already been discussed in the 17 pages of previous discussion on this game (!!), but can anybody tell me why Black doesn't play 31... Qxf6, taking the pawn and offering a queen swap when he's an exchange up? |
|
Feb-14-08
 |
| Domdaniel: <alexrawlings> The position without Queens favours White, so Black doesn't want to swap. The exchange sacs are nice, but for me the most brilliant move of the game is 28.Qf1 - followed by 29.Qf2 - exploiting this fact. |

| VaselineTopLove: Is this game better than
Topalov vs Anand, 2006
? |

| mistreaver: can someone explain why black plays 5... Bb4+ just to withdraw the bishop a move later?it makes no sense to me |
|

 |
| blacksburg: the idea is to force the bishop to d2, which is not the best square for it. of course, black loses a tempo, but white is going to lose a tempo eventually moving that bishop again. white can play Nbd2 to block the check, but that knight really wants to go to c3 instead. so basically, the point of the check is to force white to put a piece on d2, which is not necessarily what he wants to do. |
