Me with Karl (owner of Amy’s restaurant) and Delilah on her birthday
Topalov has been taking a lot of chances in Linares and it has been paying off big time, so far. He is +3 and is leading the tournament by 1.5 points. He has also regained the #1 spot on the LIVE rating list. But there are still 4 more rounds to go.
Topalov will face Gashimov with Black in round 7 today, Aronian with White in round 8, Grischuk with Black in round 9, and Gelfand with White in round 10. Anything can still happen.
Vachier-Lagrave won the World Blitz Chess Championship Preliminaries. By winning this event, he earned a berth in the 2011 World Blitz Championship. Bu, Mamedov, Grachev, Savchenko and Nepomniachtchi also qualified.

When are you going to start playing rated games again?
Why does it matter to you if or when she plays?
Topalov plays very risky opening variations. Anand in good shape will beat him easy if he continues with those risky opening variations. In match play Topalov needs to show more patience in the games. Then everything can happen…
Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?
Has a chess game ever been won when a pawn was promoted to a bishop?
