Sep-03-08  sicilianhugefun: simply outplayed
May-01-10  Madmartigan: 34..., Rdf8 is a big mistake. Topalov could have won this game by 34..., d4 35 Qc1, Rh4!, winning at least the exchange.

This was the last game of the tournament. Had Topalov won this, he would have been the tournament victor, instead of Ivanchuk...
