Please don’t be angry with me, but I’m rooting for Hungary.
what the heck happened in
Kamsky – Leko game?!
Leko took the repetition with Qh1+ – Qh5+ , but he had a much superior position…
Instead of Qh1+ there was the simple Rb4! and white position collapses completly.
Incredible luck for Kamsky in this game.
By the way, if one has seen Topalov playing in the Olympiad (today he won again a very nice game) one must real fear for Kamsky.
I guess their match could be a very short one. Topalov is nearly 100 Elo points higher rated atm and at least 1 class better than Kamsky.
Oh dear.
Oh no, it’s 2.5:1.5 congrats

– One class difference is 200 ratings points, not 100, how many points was higher Topalov than Kramnik before Elista match?
It was also a talk about different classes.
Of course Topalov is a huge favorite, and it is the only chance for Kamsky.
200 points should be 1 class? so a 2790 player is in same class as a 2600 player?!
LOL
a 2700 player is clearly weaker than a 2750 player and a 2800 player is again in his own world.
Topalov will be above 2800 soon and Kamsky is dropping to 2700.
That’s at least 1 class difference, I think it is more or less 2 classes.
