 | | Nigel Short: Extravagant chess. Topalov really doesn't seem to have any fear at all. I would be very nervous about plonking a knight offside (linesman!)on a5 with a g5-g4 advance imminent. |
|
| May-11-10 | | AdrianP: Now Black needs to get going with ...f5, ...g5 etc. |

 | | twinlark: 28...Ba8. Looks like Black is willing to let go of his c-pawn. |
|

 | | acirce: This has turned into a very sharp position. |
|

 | | autolycus: Maybe Topalov is counting on e4 to block the diagonal and cover f3 with his a3R. |
|
| May-11-10 | | vonKrolock: Well, that prelate in a8-h1 diagonal looks really very threatening ... |

 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: It would prove rather amusing if either player won from this opening. Is anyone else wondering if the Knight is intended for e5? |
|
| May-11-10 | | A Karpov Fan: If Toppy loses in Bulgaria will they flog him naked through the streets? |
|
| May-11-10 | | AdrianP: Surely White regrets g3 now? |
|
May-11-10
 | | plang: This looks like it will get very sharp |
|

| May-11-10 | | Papagambit: my thoughts too Nigel, 29. ...g5 and ....h5 and ....g4 seem imminent and strong threats W may lose this match in regular time! |

 | | saaki: Neat play by white. N headed to d6 via 94 or at least control d6 |

That's what I was thinking, although if Anand holds back his f-pawn he could soon kick it with ...f6. |
|
| May-11-10 | | ajile: White could triple on the c file. |

 | | Marmot PFL: <I would be very nervous about plonking a knight offside (linesman!)on a5 with a g5-g4 advance imminent.> Maybe he just manuvering to play Nc4 with tempo gain. |
|

 | | WinKing: <acirce: This has turned into a very sharp position.> Yes, it has. But I am in agreement with GM Short that Topalov may be sticking his neck out a little too far here. Anand meanwhile may be sharpening his ax. |
|

 | | Robin01: Does white intend to bring his rooks back to the "d" file and try to exchange the heavy pieces? That would seem like a good plan. |
|
May-11-10
| | acirce: Well, no result - 1-0, draw or 0-1 - would surprise me at all here. |
|
May-11-10
 | | Frankovich: The game could still end in a draw but it won't be a dull one. Kudos to both players. |
|
| May-11-10 | | Sashadrago: <Kazzak> Blagodarju! |
|
May-11-10
| | An Englishman: Good Morning: Looks like Anand didn't like the prospect of Nc4-e5. Suddenly the game is getting tense. e3-e4,g7-g5; Ne3 is one possible continuation, but I must leave now. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the game. |
