Good for the WCC Topalov who is the bravest player so far. Topalov is the experimental chess android Fritz 20 who has escaped from chessbase's top secret biointelligence research laboratory near Munich.

Save those humoristic ones the intent of which is to entertain by breaking "chessic" monotony! 8>) If I train 15 hours a day, I can beat Topalov in a few years. Kamsky has not played people at this level in years if i am not mistaken ? I think he will be better in his next tournament . The Champ keeps rolling and Karmak is scared of him...They need to play each other to see who the best is ... Money talks ......If some one offered enough they would play each other....

Yes, it`s true : he hasn`t played for several years in top level chess events. > I think he will be better in his next tournament . We`ll see. He is still young. > The Champ keeps rolling and Karmak is scared of him...They need to > play each other to see who the best is ... > > Money talks ......If some one offered enough they would play each > other.... AFAIK there`s a possibility given by FIDE for them to play such a match however I doubt that sponsors will give enough money for it. > Mike B wrote : >> Kamsky has not played people at this level in years if i am not [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > We`ll see. He is still young. He's passed 30, not all that young. Kaidanov, on Chess.fm, said that if was truly serious about making a comeback he wasn't spending enough time studying the openings. He himself has proudly stated he hasn't opened a chess book for years. I don't know if he includes DVDs and the Internet as "books," but his opening preparation for Corus has been appalling.

IMO Nakamura would have played better there. |
