23 Jun '15 07:32Originally posted by sundown316I gave up watching that Carlsen game, he must be the most boring world champion in history, seriously, its better watching two patzers play blitz than the world champion trying to grind out a win in a drawn position for forty moves.
Topalov won again, giving him 5.5/6, 1.5 points ahead of Nakamura, who drew in 95(!)moves against Carlsen.

He probably dragged it out because Naka is his "customer"(11-0)and was hoping for a blunder.
23 Jun '15 20:28Originally posted by sundown316sure but Naka demonstrated that its possible to play for a draw against Carlsen and there is essentially nothing he can do. I am beginning to think that they way to play against Carlsen is to try to force him to take risks otherwise he simply will play on in even positions with little risk forever and ever.
24 Jun '15 21:35Originally posted by sundown316Anish Girly the wee wussbag beat Topa today, very sad, Girly is one of the few top chessplayers i don't like.
Rd. 7: all 5 games drawn, so Topalov keeps a 1.5 lead with 2 rounds to go. Magnus basically chucked in the sponge with a 20 move draw against Vachier.
25 Jun '15 00:16Originally posted by sundown316I wouldn't quite go that far, Anand has played well, and has done his usual unbeaten routine,
If he loses that game, it will go down as one of the biggest chokes in chess history.

I wouldn't quite go that far, Anand has played well, and has done his usual unbeaten routine,
whereas "Unstopalov", who has had quite a bit of luck, has only lost one game.
Anand will be the one fighting for a win in this final game, Toppy will however not play passively, as he likes fighting chess also.

Something tells me Topalov will not resist trying it again [and failing] 😀
26 Jun '15 08:30Originally posted by sundown316yes what has happened to the world champion? Has Giri's trash talk got to him?
Anand wimped out and took a draw after only 18 moves. So Topolov wins with 6.5, Anand and Nakamura(who beat Aronion)tied for 2-3 with 6. Carlsen lost to Hammer in 34 moves, and finished at -2!
