Another question, how long will it take till Magnus is the world champ. I don't think he is even out of hs for krips sake! Latest rating:2765!!
I think Kamsky still has his number for now.

Kamsky must get beyond Topalov in order to face Kramnik. Another Topalov-Kramnik match will be bad for chess.

Carlsen has a good chance to qualify in the next cycle, but in a match against Kramnik, he'll have a thing or two to learn about preparation. A match against Anand may be even more difficult for the boy.

Of course, Magnus is already much better than Topalov, but maybe not Kamsky.

I'm guessing that you're just repeating the cr*p that Topalov's idiot manager, Danailov, came out with during and after the Kramnik / Topalov match.

If not, then please present any evidence you have - links, game analysis, opinions of other GMs - anything at all, that Kramnik has used an engine to cheat.

Kramnik's style is generally not very exciting, ...[text shortened]... is match against Topalov:

does kramnik look like an electronics expert and a PC itself? because there's no way he could have taken advantage of a random cable in the toilet ceiling.

also, if I recall correctly, he was on medication during the match due to his ilness, and heavy medication can do all sorts of things when combined with pshycological pressure.

i dont like kramnik. i dont know why any of you do. on another site it took to about the 35th post before someone said something positive about him. he didnt give the great kasparov a rematch (no class) and also cheated (also no class) with an engine, giving many of us ideas..
Actually Kasparov before his match with Kramnik have been stated opinion against rematches. And he did not reserve rights of rematch before that match. After losing his title he suddenly changed his opinion. That I would call "no class".

In my opinion rematches are unjustified - so nothing to blame Kramnik. He had no duty to accept these unjustified rematch demands.

About "cheating" - there is no evidence about it, except aseless claims of Danailov.
