Shirov, Topalov, and Mamedyarov are the moste interesting players today.
Simply amazing that Shirov can pull this off against a Super GM.
Games like this remind us that Chess is an art. Chess like Music can make you happy.
A strong candidate for game of the year.
“Shirov, Topalov, and Mamedyarov are the moste interesting players today.”
You just cannot leave Morozevich himself out of the “interesting players” out. He is THE interesting player.
