        Kramnik is ugly.

        Kramnik is crapnik.

        Kramnik is a thief.

        A troglodyte.

        A russian cattle.

        Kramnik is defeated.

        Kramnik is a toilet.

        Kramnik is a jaxe.

        A little mascot, full of rot.

        Kramnik is so boring.

        So impotent.

        So ludicrous.

        So fucked up!

        Chess poetry reminds me of Haiku on crack!

        I like it.

        You behave like little children. Must that be?

        Can anyone explain to me why Leko’s first move g3 is already played some time before the games started?
        (to find under http://72.167.41.64/morelia-linares/r3/ )

        Thanks for answers!

        Jochen!

        Joking relieves stress!

        Many chess fans are nervous abour today’s results!

        I am sure Leko’s recorded move must be a mistake.

        You’re right, it was a mistake. He played e4 instead.

        Sorry that I (in generally) do not see the joke any more in the Kramnik-Topalov-insulting (yes, I mean “-insulting” not “-joking”).
        Too many really bad words from fans of either side were made about the other side. Perhaps some make it for fun (I did so, too) but I am for sure that many do not think of fun any more. And in this case, again, I see no more fun….
        The first “anti-post” has a nice poetic form but does this keep away the hatred out of it?

        Best regards from Germany

        Well, after reading this blog, and many others….it is no surprise that Topalov is loosing much of his fanbase. This really comes at no surprise….but Topalov at some point should pay attention to his fans and do analysis on his end and come to realize why. For some reason, in the past couple of years Topalov has tried to get the media attention by tactics that are not his. In the past, all he had to do to get attention was what came naturally to him….play outstanding chess. So why is he going out of his ways these days by claiming that his opponents are cheating, making up unbeleivable stories without any basis? I think that his problem is that he is taking to many tips from his manager. At some point he should stand up to Danailov and ask him just to manage his career…..while Topalov should just only concentrate on chess and shut up for a while. Maybe then, we can see the old Topalov make a return and whipe out his opponents from the board.

        For all of you, haters of Topalov: he just won against Chucky and will be leading SOLUS after round 3!

        The problem with Topalov is that he wins with grace, but already lost his dignity…
