What a game! Aronian is good, very good! You rarely see Anand beaten this bad.
Wow Carlsen-Topalov 1-0!!
TOO early, dear Lady, Carlsen is clear first 🙂
can’t believe Topalov resigned in a drawn position!!! crazy ending to a amazing game by Carlsen
-mm
The final position Carlsen – Topalov is a draw. Before that Carlsen missed 55.Nd2
This might actually top Kramnik’s mate in 1 blunder. Danailov must have given the wrong signal (jk)
🙂
We saw two extraordinary games today.
Two young players defeat the top two ranked players..its awesome! I ve never been a fan of aronian, but he played a great game and outplayed vishy. Well, toppy, is either not himself or probably now we see the actual toppy! Lol. Great result for Carlsen fans.
“I ve never been a fan of aronian…”

May I ask why?
anand is struggling against d4!
anand should had long ago play with some d4 opening!
it is kuku time!
Topalov was bribed by Mexican cartel to resign.
