Mar-02-07  artemis: hitman: I dont think topalov is in the mood to defend for some reason.
Mar-02-07  hitman84: Typical Topalov there you go..
Mar-02-07  beenthere240: "do not go quiet into that good knight"
Mar-02-07  boz: Topalov has chosen hand-to-hand combat.
Mar-02-07  artemis: what does google translator tell us about this move?
Mar-02-07  you vs yourself: 22.Qf3 and Anand will still have the slight advantage.
Mar-02-07  hitman84: <artemis>Attack is the middle name of Topalov!
Mar-02-07  herby rawley: i have a dream that Qf3 may have patzerbilities

all hell could break loose around topalovs king

Mar-02-07  hitman84: Black has Ng6->Nf4 now.
Mar-02-07  beenthere240: Now we may see moves like Nh2 and Ng4. I don't think Anand will be buffaloed if black suddenly throws the student body down the king side.
Mar-02-07  artemis: beenthere: is that the google translator?
Mar-02-07  Marmot PFL: Qf3 Kg7 Rc6!? Nc6 dc Qe6 Nf5+ is sharp line but black doesn't have to take on c6,
Mar-02-07  boz: Maybe if White had tried 22.Qf3 Black woud get ...Ne8 23.Nf5 Nxf5 24.exf5 f6 closing up the position?
Mar-02-07  Eyal: <artemis: what does google translator tell us about this move?> Sadly coherent: <As always, in an effort to impose its adversary position scenario, Veselin Topalov ready for the most extreme measures. In this case, gross weakening of the castle.>
Mar-02-07  beenthere240: <artemis> a whole new realm of chess terminology beckons.
Mar-02-07  szentl: Duque Roquero --Rubik cube's been engaged, sorry. I do not mind if You insist, but it's a Hungarian symbol, like Polgar or Leko. If You like it -on one hand - an honour for me. On the other -common risk if we're confoundable, as we do not know each other.

Mar-02-07  Jack Kerouac: "Veselin Topalov ready for the most extreme measures," according to our Russian commentator.Let us see what they may be...
Mar-02-07  JustAFish: <Veselin Topalov ready for the most extreme measures>

Golly, will it involve some action in the crotch area? :-)

Mar-02-07  herby rawley: it seems Ng6 followed by Nf4 gives black mthe attack ...... no?????????
Mar-02-07  Eyal: <boz: Maybe if White had tried 22.Qf3 Black woud get ...Ne8 23.Nf5 Nxf5 24.exf5 f6 closing up the position?> 25.Rc6, followed by Rec1, Qh5, Be3 would be devastating for Black.
Mar-02-07  malibumike: I'm not a Topalov fan, but he does play to win, not just draw.
Mar-02-07  boz: <Eyal> So you think White should have played 22.Qf3?
Mar-02-07  rahidz2003: After 24. Ng6, Rybka puts the game at even :(
Mar-02-07  Jack Kerouac: <JustaFish> That comment was below the belt.In this case, the Borscht-Belt.
Mar-02-07  mukeshjld: with white anand also play for win.am i right?
