        It doesn’t give that move in the Toliet Gazzette.

        Oooops! Even the three officials in the background are visibly affected by the tension. They all don’t seem happy. :0(

        I think you guys and/or gals overlooked something: due to the unusual visual perspective of the photo, Kramnik looks like a giant compared to Topalov. Great comic potential, no? Go for it….

        He didn’t shake my hand… Let me scream to the officials! Wait, didn’t he just come back from THERE?

        I just dipped my rook in some hot, fresh coffee. Would you like a bite? Hey! I SAID, WOULD YOU LIKE A BITE?

        Hey Danilov, I’m missing page 17 of the home prep — can you fax it to the bathroom?

        Kramnik: How does the horsey move?

        Topalov: Hmmm. The rule book doesn’t say.

        Topalov hopes Kramnik drinks the tea provided by Nigel Short. It is laced with sleeping powder.
        Nigel hopes he will get lucky tonight!

        Don’t we deserve a set with normal-sized rooks? Some kids take better sets than this to their club.

        Topalov: What the hell this 12.Nxf7 but anyway Cheparinov said it’s ok let me try it may be a chance to win against “black opponent”

        Kramnik: Hey “white opponent” make your move! it’s not time to read Danailov’s love letter!

        Each player demonstrates his own specialty: Kramnik – his chess, and Topalov – his press releases.
