Apr-22-09  Dredge Rivers: I guess Kramnik figured if that opening was good enough for Fischer, it was good enough for him! :)
May-18-09  ghall3: Re: Dredge Rivers Kibitz--I don't believe I have ever seen a Kibitz that was funny enough to make me laugh out loud. The Rocket's Kibitz might have done it too, if I hadn't just finished laughing.

Dredge Rivers: I guess Kramnik figured if that opening was good enough for Fischer, it was good enough for him! :)

The Rocket: Did topalov sit through the hole two hours?

Jul-17-09  Eduardo Leon: The toilet immortal!!!

Sep-11-09  Cercatore: Best match ever?
Sep-11-09  grebenarov: <ghall3: Did topalov sit through the hole two hours?> No, he received a signal from Kramnik's team that their player resigns. (There had only 1hr and 40min passed at that point.) I heard Toplaov was pretty happy cause he had been expecting that fierce 1.e4 from Kramnik and was not yet sure as to how to counter that. He accepted however with respect, the decision of his oponent to resign, signed the score sheet, and went backstage to look for Kramnik for the final handshake.
Sep-11-09  Starf1re: Brilliant game! Topalav demonstrates the tactical firepower that makes him so dangerous. Kramnik, recognizing the forced mate in 52, wisely resigns the game. Every player should be familiar with this game and how to respond to a similar position.
Sep-13-09  grebenarov: <Starf1re: Kramnik, recognizing the forced mate in 52...> Exactly, seeing the mate in 52, Kramnik saves a lot of time and fresh energy for the next day.

Nov-20-10  Tigranny: I don't mean to be mean, but how many times did Kramnik use the restroom, forcing him to forfeit to Topalov?
Jan-13-11  Lennonfan: Kramniks immortal!!
Mar-15-11  soothsayer8: Ah, the dubious "Chess Game Declined" Opening.
Mar-24-11  Penguincw: < Tigranny: I don't mean to be mean, but how many times did Kramnik use the restroom, forcing him to forfeit to Topalov? >

At least once.

Apr-09-11  Tigranny: How did this game get to be Game Of The Day when it's less than 10 moves (0)? The Pun Submission Page says no game that are less than 10 moves are allowed. I've been trying to make another game Game Of The Day when it was 0 moves like this one.
