| Ken Ji jun: Why not in the quiet-wilderness- solitude of YUKON, Polar Bears will do the honors of making the ceremonial first moves, after then everybody is a fair game to the hungry predators... |

| HeMateMe: <Yeah, the ending of that Spassky-Hort match was classic, wasn't it? > Was there a candidates match in iceland, Hort/Spassky? Never heard of it. I would think Reykjavik put a bad taste in Spassky's mouth, surprised he would go back there for a match. A tournament maybe, but not a match.British Columbia will be a great winter olympics, its the perfect place for the winter games. Just as long as the USA mens and womens hocky teams win gold... |

| ontocaustic: obama just provid scratchuary for the polar bears who are dying so it could be USA who fund the Kramnik Topalow matches anyway then why it cannot just be held in USA? also for polar bear is it very expensiv to hire traner to makes sure that they do not untoward attache or somehow release onto the game so it can be difficulty |

| frogbert: anyone who knows why topalov skipped the 3 last rounds in the etcc? simply taking the consequence of not-so-great form, or something else? |
|
| Oct-30-09 |
| Blunderdome: Someone on the main tournament page said he had a prior engagement and it was known before the tournament started that he would miss the later rounds. I cannot confirm this, though. |

| badest: ... and here is the award:
http://www.chessdom.bg/2009/%D0%B1%... it says that he would get the reward on Oct 29th at 14.00 ... |

| frogbert: thanks, badest. with cheparinov not in great shape either, it obviously had an impact on the team, but anyway the chances for a top finish was already infinitesimal at the time topalov had to return. |

| badest: 100% right <frogbert> ... the team underperformed amazingly. These days I rather follow K. Berbatov, who did quite good in a decent french tournament (he is 13 yrs and getting very close to a GM title). |

| HeMateMe: New FIDE ratings are out--Topa's live rating is only 5 points higher than Carlsen's. Is the structure for the next 'Candidates' matches such that the world 2 highest ratings are automatically seeded in? Is this why Topalov is playing so selectively, to guard his rating to year end? Assuming he doesn't defeat Anand in the WC match, I guess he is sheltering his high rating, playing in fewer events. |

| firebyrd: <anyone who knows why topalov skipped the 3 last rounds in the etcc?> Mig hints at Topalov falling ill. <http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt...; |

| MeatGrinder: Topalov skipped the first 2 rounds because of illness and the last 3 because of a prior engagement. |
|

| cannibal: <HeMateMe>
If Topalov doesn't beat Anand, he is already in the candidates tournament (even Kamsky is in, that's the really silly part imho). The top 2 rating spots for the candidates are currently held by Carlsen and Kramnik. (Anand has the same bonus as Topalov, and Aronian is through via Grand Prix) |

| HeMateMe: Why should the loser automatically be seeded in? The 'match' is only 12 games, right? Hardly a gruelling 3 monther like the '78 Karpov/Korchnoi match. One would assume that the loser of Topalov/Anand won't be so exausted as to not be able to play in a high number of events over the following 12 months. |

| KamikazeAttack: Just occured to me that Topalov could be shaking in his boots at the prospect of losing is number one ranking in 2 weeks. Who knows what boy wonder would come up with in Moscow? |

| ontocaustic: if my predication is true then carlson will win the tal cup and then he will become the world's chess best but his opening is crucial depend on kasparow feeding him the right beginning moves for example if he moves his horse outside of some normal square it cannot be but then the young Viking with the eye of tiger is on his own into ravagings of his opopents who are certain it is a high enough tourmanent that they can draw his and not losing |
