I saw the game live on the internet and I was sure that it was over because Kamsky had a two pawn majority over Adams. Then I went to the store and as I came back I saw the computer screen and then I saw Kamsky had given his pawn majority up for position.

Well Done Gata Kamsky!
I’m not of american or russian nationality ,but I’m glad to see this guy winning.And he certainly deserves a shot for title,much more than Topalov once again.
That’s one more reason he is going to defeat Topalov in their match.You’ll see.
Wow, go Gata! I must admit that I didn’t think he would be doing this well, but I’m glad he is!
Kamsky has played exceptionally well over the past year, and he now has equal chances against Topalov in their upcoming match. He hasn’t yet hit the realm of Anand and Kramnik, but it’s possible. Go Gata.
