Attention everybody! Kramnik has just won game 10 very convincingly. And this time without 50 visit to the toilet!... so fritz9 is out of the question! Maybe this time it's gonna by telepathic communication!

I think what you guys have to realize is that Topalov is just better, period. This whole tournament is just a formality, not a verification.
Just kidding. I really hope that Kramnik comes out on top and puts Topalov and Danialov in their places.

Originally posted by tomtom232If Topalov wins without benefit of the forfeit, without resorting to rapid games, and subsequently fires Danailov, then he will be regarded as the true champion. Anything less renders the title more controversial than ever. Then, Topalov will gain the respect his play deserves only if he abandons FIDE and works with the ACP to create a new system for defending his championship.

FIDE plans this match as the last one, and expects a series of tournaments like the one in San Luis. Shame.
