What a start for the Bulgarians! I think Aronian played well below his normal form.
So Cheparinov wins and Topalov wins?
Coincidence, luck, or Danailov is at it again? That playing hall needs to be frisked clean of electronic devices.
“So Cheparinov wins and Topalov wins?

no, your unhealthy paranoia is at it again, making you look even more retarded than you really are.
Poor Bu-Bu!
Quite right Anonymous 1:47.
What a moronic comment by Anonymous 1:40.
In any case, no electronic device would have been needed to beat that poor play of Aronian.
Funny how the Bulgarians end up winning in Bulgaria. It is a given that Topalov ‘MUST’ win M-Tel. Wonder how they do it?

you know what’s even funnier? your stupidity. hahaha
Probably Topalov wins M-Tel because of the no-draw rule.
Many other players aren’t used to fighting every game, preferring to take ‘rest’ days instead.
Look how badly Kramnik did there in 2005 – not being able to take his quickie draws!
