You obviously don't understand that Kramnik is a chess grandmaster. Suppose you have a computer that would choose hands down the BEST move in any position. Would you be surprised that one of the BEST chess players in the entire world would choose the same moves as that computer 80-90% of the time. I wouldn't.
I've said before this, this whole implication about kramnik getting help from chess program is very interesting. The good GM from Topalov's camp went to some extent to calculate the percentage of Kramnik-Fritz9 matchup, the highest apparently in game 2. But what's amusing is that in the particular game, Kramnik actually blundered and would have been mated! So I concluded that Kramnik must have moved on his own, NOT Fritz9, because I don't believe that Fritz9 can make such a blunder!
So when someone suggested that maybe Kramnik got some help only, 'maybe few times only', I commented that 87% sounds like much more than 'few times only' to me!

Originally posted by BLReidWell said that man, it's disgraceful the way that team Topalov have acted. I will be gutted if Kramnik loses this match, sounds like he's been a gent throughout.
Topalov whines that he lost the first two games because he isn't man enough to admit that he just blew them. He accuses Kramnik of getting assistance. Kramnik is justifiably offended. FIDE steps in and backs their boy Topalov, giving Kramnik a completely raw deal (need we remind you that the issue of bathrooms was discussed during the contract negotiations? ...[text shortened]... ou are clearly an idiot.
EDIT- And I WAS a Topalov supporter prior to all of this nonsense.
Game 9 was certainly well played by Topalov and poorly played by Kramnik. Topa seemed much better prepared, made a few variations in the opening and used little time there. The match is now even in games OTB and Kramnik will have to play better in the last three. He does have White in two out of 3 and I wonder if we might finally see something besides 1 d4 and the Slav lines that have been played in the match.

We keep up with them. But you seem to present them with a twist.
Topalov admitted wrongdoing about the handshake. He fell into believing Kramnik is cheating. That's all. And he DID shook hands with Kramnik.
A True man accepts his fault. But what if Kramnik used outside help, say a few times only. There are plenty of reasons to believe he did.
We at the end.
Topalov will kick his ars IMO and the crybaby will find comfort in suing FIDE.
Its Topalov saying Kramnik plays fair, hence Topalov admits his team was wrong.....its not very hard to follow 🙂
I still wonder why Kramnik showed such stupid and remarkable behaviour while he knew the Topalov team could see this on video. Did he want to provoke the first battle in a psychological war ? Then he certainly went overboard in laying out his strategies. He lost the powergame which he himself initiated.

Ha ha ha ..... where went your formal reasoning, Mr. Lawyer ?
Topalov leads 5-4.
