Jun-11-06		you vs yourself: Very interesting game. Despite being in time trouble, Topalov defended well in the end. 6.Be2 after a long time by Anand. He only needed to draw this game to win the match. He played very aggressively and secured the draw and the match. Perhaps this result will give the necessary confidence for Anand to come out of the slump he's in.

Jun-12-06		hitman84: <you vs yourself>Yes. This was a well defended game by Topalov. When was the last time we saw a 2800 > play Opencensky variation.

Jun-21-06		alexandrovm: Anand vs. Topalov are almost exiting to watch, this is a nice game...

Jun-26-06		Topzilla: Well, this are the 2 best players in the world.

Jun-26-06		chancho: <Topzilla: Well, this are the 2 best players in the world.> Hey, Topsie look at what happened to the #2 player. (at the hands of a player you called a patzer.) L Bruzon vs Anand, 2006

Jun-26-06		Topzilla: I never called Bruzon a patzer, i said he played <like> a patzer in a specifical game.

Jun-26-06		chancho: <Topzilla: I never called Bruzon a patzer, i said he played like a patzer in a specifical game.> Really? So why write this post? <Topzilla: Maybe not, but clearly sometimes he play like an amateur playing blitz, i dont know if it is lack of motivation, or lack of preparation, but he can play really bad chess, that shoudnt be for a 2652 GM, who is supposed to go to 2700 soon.> That was an earlier post of yours. Clearly you are writing about more than a specific game, are you not?
