Oct-19-07		dabearsrock1010: Topalov does not seem like a very strong blindfold player...at least comparative to his strength in normal chess, which is legendary

Oct-19-07		madlydeeply: I must say it pleases me deeply to see Topalov punked by Bu Xiangzhi.

Oct-19-07		pawnofdoom: Well I say the game looked pretty drawn with opposite colored bishops until Topalov played 36. ... g6?? allowing 37. f7+

Oct-19-07		Topista: It can remind one of the game topalov won against aronian in the 2006 linares.Bu would have may be won even without that unfortunate blunder.

Oct-19-07		aragorn69: Total domination, from 13.c5!! onwards. Impressive play from Bu!

Oct-19-07		chancho: <Topalov does not seem like a very strong blindfold player..> Well give Topa some credit. He saw in his mind's eye that he was toast after 37.Bf7+.

Oct-26-07		ipatri: Bu deserved this win. He dominated the game, Topalov's changes didn't solve his problems at all. If there isn't Rg6??, then Bu would win the a6 pawn and with two pawns up and two passed pawns the win is his. The Chinese played this game in a very good attacking style.

This one's not so bad, still a funny blunder at the end though
