Jun-11-06 | | dalbertz: Actually, the game has moved on. Updates are sporadic at that sight. Anan sac'ed the exchange. It's at move 32 now. |
|
Jun-11-06 | | virginmind: rover: well...who knows? :) |

 | | Peligroso Patzer: They are up to move 30 in Game #4. Anand has just sacrificed an exchange, but he has (for starters) 2 pawns for it. He also seems to have much the stronger position. |

Anand has 3 pawns for the exchange, and Topalov has no counterplay at all to speak of. |
|
Jun-11-06 | | Kangaroo: By now Anand has three pawns for the exhcange and winning prospectives if the Topalov plans to regain one of the passing pawns by trading in his bishop. Looks like either 2.5 : 1.5 or 3:1 in favor of Vishy! |
|
Jun-11-06 | | knightpower: where can i see the match ... anyone ??? |
|
Jun-11-06 | | Assassinater: It looks like an easy win from my point of view. The white king can waltz up the queenside, while the black king is barred by the knight, pawn and bishop. |
|
Jun-11-06 | | positionalbrilliancy: I think it's likely to be a draw. |
|
Jun-11-06 | | Kangaroo: Obviously, Anand's moves with the king show his intention to minimize / eliminate any risk. If he needed to play for a win, his king would have moved to the Q-side already! |
|
Jun-11-06 | | Kangaroo: It is a draw already!
Anand leads 2.5:1.5
Is there a game after that? |
|
Jun-11-06 | | borisbadenoff: it's a draw
|
|
Jun-11-06 | | suenteus po 147: It looks like Anand defeated Topalov, 2.5-1.5, which is very good for my chessbucks account :) |
|
Jun-11-06 | | Whitehat1963: Yes, I bet all of my chess bucks on Anand! Collected 2398 points! Yeee-haaaa! |
|
Jun-11-06 | | Whitehat1963: They should have invited Milov:

|
Jun-11-06 | | trumbull0042: Why did Anand and Bruzon play 8 games? |
|
Jun-11-06 | | suenteus po 147: <trumbull0042> Because the rapid match was drawn, hence the four game blitz match as tie-breakers. |
|
Jun-11-06 | | chessmoron: <trumbull0042> Because Anand can't beat Bruzon in 4 rapid games, they drew, so they had to play 4 blitz games (5 minutes). |
|
Jun-11-06 | | you vs yourself: <trumbull0042> Anand-Bruzon drew their first 4 games. Then they had to play 2 playoff games(5 mins each). Bruzon won the first game. But Anand came back and won the second. So, they had to play 2 more. <Whitehat1963> Milov's victory was in blitz tiebreaks. The rapid match was tied. |
|
Jun-12-06 | | hitman84: Anand is the undisputed King in Rapid play.
|
|
Jun-12-06 | | chessmoron: ...and still has a winning record against Topalov. YAY!!! |
|
Jun-13-06 | | Confuse: congrats to anand for winning this tournament convincingly over topalov. not too suprised to see anand's rapid play to be nothing but the best. well done! |
|
Jun-14-06 | | EmperorAtahualpa: They should have invited Aronian and Carlsen for this tournament too. |
|
Jun-26-06 | | Topzilla: Yeah, specially Aronian, the 3rd best rated player. |
