Yes, the score is 1.5 - 1.5. Game 1 was a draw, Kramnik won game 2, and Topalov won game 3. Game 4 should be on now....

I'm currently following the game through susan polgar's blog myself (http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/)

Edit: the official site seems to be working now.
I beg to differ! Many thanks for link to Susan's site tho'

Red hot pawn should have hosted live coverage for subscribers and advertised it. I think that would have generated a lot more subscriptions.

21...Be4 22.Rb3 (Now Black should be played to provoke c4. White is still slightly better in my opinion. The other option is Bxa3 then Nc5. White's position is certainly easier to play. Kramnik is doing the right thing in this game. He is trying cautiously, playing for 2 results.)

22...Bxa3 23.Rxa3 Nc5 24.Nb3 (Black SHOULD be able to hold if he does not do something crazy. Ke7 is must to wake the other Rook up from his nap.)

24...Ke7

I think the Bush Administration has other "priorities" to terrorize at the moment.

Was that comment intended to offend me? I hate the Bush Administration as well as US foreign policy over the last 50 years. Not all Americans are as dumb as everyone might think, but most of them are.
