| Apr-28-10 | | goommba88: Anyone hoping for 1.e4 out of Anand in this match

|

 | | Phony Benoni: You'll probably have to settle for the Queen's Gambit. |
|

And as Topalov is playing white on Friday, you won't see that statement tested then. :-) |
|

| | whiteshark: 1.c4 is a kind of 1.e4 for left-handed, no? |
|
Apr-28-10
 | | kellmano: To be fair, 3 of the 4 games played so far have had a fairly authentic gambit. The score for the gambits: 3 - 0 |
|
| Apr-28-10 | | Kazzak: We'll probably get the resurrection of the King's Gambit next. :-) |
|
| Apr-28-10 | | MaxxLange: Has anyone ever played the King's Gambit in an "official" World Championship match? |
|
| Apr-28-10 | | Bondsamir: the level of play by Topalov is way below 2800, the blunders he made were totally rejected by a computer of 2200, I just want to know what type of preps he was recieving for world championship ? he is making the shape of chess the uglyest ever with such performance. and I don't think this man is sane at all, and I am sure he will come up with new story of cheating "he will say after another loss that his seconds sold his preperations repetoire to Anand. |

 | | Shams: <Maxx Lange>
I found one; probably others could rattle off more off the top of their heads. Chigorin vs Steinitz, 1892
O/T question: Was Steinitz/Gunsberg an "official" title match? |
|
| Apr-28-10 | | Knight13: Go Topalov! |
|
Apr-28-10
| | whiteshark: Go Topalov - FOL! |
|
Apr-28-10
| | Phony Benoni: <Shams> I haven't checked exhaustively, but offhand I've only found one ohter King's Gambit in a world championship match: Lasker vs Janowski, 1910 Steinitz - Gunsberg is generally considered a World Championship match, and Gunsberg made a surprising good fight of it. Steinitz-Gunsberg World Championship Match (1890) has some background information. |
|
Apr-28-10
 | | playground player: I'm waiting to see which of these guys plays the Polish Opening first. |
|
Apr-28-10
 | | boz: 1.e4 or 1.d4, either way Topalov will probably come out swinging. |
