Originally posted by BedlamNo, Topalov is not! How much do you guys ask for? You like Fischer's play, but you don't like him. Yet, he's one of the top five (in my opinion) greatest players of all time. Now, you don't don't like Topalov for being weird and thinking Kramnik is cheating using Fritz9! Have you guys read anything about World Chess CHampionships of the past? OMG! This is nothing compared to Boris Spassky donning outfits and sun glasses? I forget what he did once. Oh, and then there was Bobby wanting the chairs x-rayed. The hospital gave them both a nice bill of health. They all laughed in the hospital. Then, there was that moment when Karpov's team was accused of using a parapsychologist to defeat was it not Korchnoi? I forget. What do you want? I weird recluse chess genius or a perfect saint? Chess is war, people! Wake up! All your heroes of the chess world are the same as Topalov! They are weird! Insane! Recluses! Enigmatic! Chess players are a different breed. By the way, I don't have friends myself. Chess is my friend.
Call me stupid but if Kramnik was using fritz9 before why couldnt he use it now?
Topalov is the laughing stock of the chess world.
