| Oct-27-06 | | acirce: <chancho> Brilliant, thanks. The URL is http://gmsquare.com/Baburin/news/da... He also says that <the 7-hour game session is out of date> and <adding time for each move is a big mistake – time troubles make chess more interesting to watch>. Then in pretty much the same vain he adds this well-known horrendous suggestion of giving 3 points for a win. Well, today we can see that his MTel tournament does after all have classical time controls and the only sane scoring system. |

| Nov-02-06 | | tino72: Silvio's latest proclamations - the man appears to be delusional: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...
It's madness gone mad. |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | Lt. Col. Majid: What I wanna know is what Bulgarians think of Danailov and his allegations. I wonder how the Bulgarian press views this soap opera. Considering that this is the man Topalov spent half his life with and his mentor, it says a lot about who Topalov is. |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | Stevens: <Lt. Col. Majid: What I wanna know is what Bulgarians think of Danailov and his allegations.> ask peergynt. or maybe don't. |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | setebos: Danailov is smoking some strange ****. |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | Jack Sprat: Pretty typical of Danailov, the clown.
I'm surpised he hasn't made any cheating allegations about Polgar. Or is that around the corner?? |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | Lt. Col. Majid: Danailov is milking all the publicity, he doesn't want this drama to die down. This vampire wants to make a legacy and some bucks off this debacle, unfortuanately at the expense of his client who is too thick to know any different. Yikes, Topalov is a retard. |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | ganeshknight: In this article in the year 2003, Danailov talks very high about Anand and his willingness to conduct a Topalov-Anand match.

| Nov-02-06 | | Karpyan: I assumed Kramnik was at the board during the play-offs.... Maybe Madame Tussaud's mocked up a convincing waxwork model of Kramnik with a beta version of Fritz 11 for a brain. His only Russian word is "Nichya". |
|

 | | TheAlchemist: Why can't he just accept that Kramnik won the match? All this whining and crying makes him look pretty pathetic in my opinion. |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | JustAFish: Clearly Danilov's charges about Kramnik using computer assistance are absurd given the sloppy play in game 2 (which was one of the games that Danilov cited as being 'suspicious'). However, I'd still like to know how much like a computer both players played. Could someone who has early access to Fritz 10 check on Danilov's assertion that Kramnik played "80%" computer moves. Would that same someone then go and check on Kramnik's play in the Leko and Kasparov matches, where, of course, Fritz 10 was not available? I'd be willing to bet that Kramnik has been playing like Fritz 10 in roughly the same percentage for the past 10 years or so. Similarly, I'd venture to guess that Topalov plays moves chosen by Fritz 10 almost as much. To my mind, after the opening peters out, and given dynamic play, in most positions there is a clear-cut "best" move. Given that, why <wouldn't> the world's best players AND computers converge on the same moves most of the time? |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | JustAFish: One more thing. I, along with thousands of others, watched the match online with engines running. It was pretty clear that most of the moves played by both players agreed with computer analysis. However, there were, on both sides, times when the players diverged. Is Danilov saying that, at these times, Kramnik went out of his way to play substandard or "non-computer" moves, simply to keep up the appearance of human play? |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | awfulhangover: Capablanca is the player who played most computer moves, some reasearcher claim. Say no more ... |
|
Nov-02-06
 | | Honza Cervenka: Danailov once again proves that he is a pathologic liar. He contradictes clearly in this his "new story" of Elista even some points of his own previous press releases and interviews, not to mention logic and generally known facts. How can anybody take him seriously after that? |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | setebos: Danailov sounds like a cheap boxing promoter.He even has a fancy gold watch! |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | Lt. Col. Majid: Yeah, he wants to be the Don King of chess.
Anything for the greens.
He is also the manager of Ponomariov. |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | Akavall: Danailov has completely lost it... |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | Karpova: Danailov's newest aberration looks like a suicide attack. He wreak havoc on his and Topalov's reputation, not to speak of credibility.
So now he attacks with everything he has. The statements become more and more absurd though it was hard to believe that this could be possible.
The recent accusations are simply laughable and i think it's wise from Carsten Hensel to say that he won't react with a statement himself cause this craps really not worth it. |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | aw1988: <He wreak havoc on his and Topalov's reputation> Ah, but Topalov has agreed with him so far has he not? I suspect there will be an open letter in a few days with Topalov stating his position in favor of his psychotic manager. |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | aw1988: The part that kills me the most is this:
<Because it is impossible to win against someone who is making, in each game, 80 percent computer moves. Nowadays the average rating of Fritz 10 is about 3200. Playing 80 percent of his moves in conformity with those of this program, Kramnik played at a strength of about 2900-3000, much better than Kasparov and Fischer. Importantly, Topalov with 2813 points, has been for more than a year the leader of the world rating list, so, the result 6-6 in the main games, and 2.5 -1.5 in the time-break is, in my opinion, very successful for Veselin, taking into account against whom he played.> So Kramnik played better than Kasparov and Fischer, did he? Fischer would skin him alive... it's very optimistic of his manager to say Topalov is only slightly below Kasparov and Fischer. In fact, the match had to go to rapid tiebreaks, that's how close it was. So Kramnik is much better than Fischer and Kasparov and has to resort to winning it on tiebreaks. I might add Topalov even has game 5 under his belt... you don't see him complaining about that, now, do you? Oh, Veselin is 2813, look at his pretty rating. Danailov seems to have no concept of tournament vs match player. This whole interview is flawed from start to finish, making Kramnik the deserved winner even more. |

| Nov-02-06 | | talisman: danailov needs to get a job! |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | chessmoron: Danailov needs to get:
1. crushed by wrestlers
2. a life
3. his head smashed
4. brain surgery that makes him retarded |
|
Nov-02-06
 | | alexmagnus: <4. brain surgery that makes him retarded> You just to make him shut up? |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | whatthefat: <4. brain surgery that makes him retarded> Done and done, so it would seem. |
|
| Nov-02-06 | | InfinityCircuit: I think the greatest indicator of Danailov's instability is his constantly shifting arguments--he now says Fritz 10, instead of Fritz 9, he changes his explanations of why he asks for things, etc. |
