| | hardliner: I think this is a very open game.
Magnus lost a bit carless to Chuky, but he is known to be able to fight back directly after a loss. In the last game against Carlsen Topalov played ultra solid. His last two games though, indicates that he is not in such a great shape in the last half of the tournament.Good luck to players and fans and may the best player win. Then I will be happy, he he he. |

 | | whiteshark: The preliminary decision in this tournament? |
|
Sep-09-08
 | | WannaBe: Topalov, with white, will open 1. h4 and shock the chess world, (he will follow it up with 2. g4) |
|

| | chessamateur: <WannaBe> Well then quick, give him some advice. Show him a real opening, the Wannabe Gambit! 1. e4 2. Ke2!! |

| | Adarsh Saji: toplov cant show his preparation because he has to play with kamsky |

|

| | xenophon: I don't suppose Carlsen would risk the Alekhine again would he? |
|
| Sep-10-08 | | Waitaka: I did bet $100 chessbucks on draw, but I hope Carlsen wins. |
|
Sep-10-08
 | | Robin01: Is Topalov going to risk 1.e4 and a Dragon by Carlsen? |
|
Sep-10-08
| | AdrianP: I don't think Carlsen can afford to be anything other than a moving target opening wise. Topalov will have done some serious work on the Dragon and Alekhine, and I doubt Carlsen will want to turn this game into a homework contest. |
|
Sep-10-08
| | Robin01: Perhaps Topalov has prepared something against Carlsen's (a6) Dragon. |
|

 | | doglikegroove: Crap. I'm supposed to be working from home today. Carlsen-Topalov?!?! [Sigh] There goes productivity. |

Yes, and Carlsen, overcoming the shock will counter-attack: 1...a5 |

 | | kellmano: These things never quite start on time. |
|
Sep-10-08
| | Robin01: I think they start on time, but the relays are slow. |
|

 | | Geronimo: Wasn't one of the shortest grandmaster games in history something like 1.h4,h5 1/2-1/2 as some sort of protest against a scoring system? |
|
Sep-10-08
| | Geronimo: If so, it isn't in the database. CG.com has 8 games starting 1.h4. Maybe its the MAD attack!!! |
|

| | Mateo: <Geronimo: Wasn't one of the shortest grandmaster games in history something like 1.h4,h5 1/2-1/2 as some sort of protest against a scoring system?> It's not in the Opening explorer. |

| | Mateo: <Robin01: I think they start on time, but the relays are slow.> In Spain nobody starts in time. This is why it is called 'el pais de maņana'. |
|

 | | truefriends: Playchess is already showing 14 moves! |
|
| Sep-10-08 | | gandu: They are already at move 14! Sicilian dragon, Yougoslav attack. |
