What are your predictions?
Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Morelia / Linares Round 2
1-0 Peter Leko – Alexander Morozevich
1-0 Levon Aronian – Magnus Carlsen
1/2 Vishy Anand – Peter Svidler
0-1 Vassily Ivanchuk – Veselin Topalov
Topalov and Danailov are under the spotlights. They can not hire a third person to send the moves, because that person will eventually want more and more money and they would have to kill him. Not unexpected from Danailov.
Therefore they are on their own. Everybody staring at them, recording every move of theirs. It’s like Big Brother at George Orwell’s novel.
Well they got what they deserved. Good luck to them. I wish Topa a nice trip back to low 2700.
1/2-1/2 Peter Leko – Alexander Morozevich

0-1 Vassily Ivanchuk – Veselin Topalov

Where have you found so much hateness ?
Do not wish others what you do not to
get.

The question was “your prediction?”
how about your prediction anon 3:02?
Mines are:
Leko-Moro: 1/2-1/2
Levon-Magnus: 1-0
Vishy-Peter: 1/2-1/2
Ivanchuk-Topa: 1/2-1/2
Pony,of course you are right but have in mind also that hateness is something much useful.Then so we can distinguish easier the fools among us.
Leko – Morozevich: draw
Aronian – Carlsen: draw
Anand – Svidler:Anand wins
Ivanchuk – Topalov:Topalov wins

1-0 Vassily Ivanchuk – Veselin Topalov
Topalov isn’t a “low 2700”, he’s the world number 1. You have no respect and your spitefulness is disgraceful.
Nobody wants to read a comment such as that, so why do you bother?
The suggestion that he would have to cheat is totally ridiculous.
I wish I could take a trip to the low 2700’s.
When you say that Top and Dan are being watched very closely, is this what you think is happening or is this a direct report from the playing site?
Are you there at the site seeing this happen or are you getting a private report from a friend. Or did you read this somewhere on the internet and do not have direct evidence it is not speculation?
Thanks but I just want to get better verification of your report.
Today’s game between Aronian and Carlsen is a prelude to their match coming up for the world championships. Aronian looked unbeatable at Corus for Magnus. But I will still remain a Magnus fan.
Not so sure Aronian will want to use his best innovation today against Magnus. He will probably want to save it for the match. I will expect both to play cautiously today.
I’d like to see Ivanchuk teach Topalov what real depth of thought in chess means. Good chance it will be an interesting game at any rate.

Some really unexpected results so far..topy blundered against chucky..looks like the #1 is under lot of psychological pressure..other games were drawn.

Asim,
I’m the anonymous who posted at 3:02. Topalov had already a lost position against Ivanchuk before the blunder.
As a matter of fact, Topa’s trip might go further lower than 2700’s. Cheating ruins once abilities.
