I am a patzer. My rating is in the range 1700 - 1800 (on a good day I can beat a 1900 player, but I can also lose to a 1400 one :)

badest: Very nice summary <Ezzy>. The next GP starts in Greece in 2 days. Incredibly busy schedule for some of the players. I sure hope Topa's "soft-chess" was due to him saving some energy for the GP (where a good result would qualify him for the next Candidates).

badest: That was a nice interview ... thanks for the link! ... and as you say, and if one reads the whole interview, Kramnik does have a point. People who only go by rating don't really understand the hidden traps in a match. Anand will be a tough opponent, I think. I also think that the ...

badest: <HeMateMe> He probably doesn't mind having 5 blacks, and moreover he's a terrible blitz player. Let's wait for the classical games to determine his form.

badest: <Petrosianic: <They played clean with Anand in Sofia.> LOL. Well, maybe after the first couple of games.> Why do you persist with this BS? It doesn't make sense...

badest: <HeMateMe: ....using a poison tipped umbrella, perhaps?> hehe ... somebody knows about Georgi Markov ;) <Rolfo: It takes someone like Danailov to replace Kirsan, good bet if he just could stay a mile away from Topalov:)> Oh, now that Topa has a wife, and a life on the ...

badest: <The biggest flaw is to erroneously assume that chess skill = accuray of play;> I guess Tal is a good example, or counter-example :)
