Absolutly shocking that Kamsky let that one slip away. Less so that Topalov came back like that as it seems to be habitual.

Originally posted by XanthosNZyeah I agree with your post ... Kamsky needs to change the way he plays against Topalov ( his " black-beast" since Gata's return ) ... being few months ago retired of the professional chess, he is coming back with a good style , and doesnt looks rusty ...

The chess section in the paper today picked one of Topalov's games from this tournament in which, recovering from a losing position, made Ponomariov pay:
Black has just played 31...d5??
How did Topalov capitalise? Give White's next two moves, in which he gained a significant advantage.

Originally posted by !~TONY~!It would be indeed, even after the upcoming exchanges it still took another 30 or so moves to finish I think.
Note that after fxg5 Qe5+ isn't possible. I've seen the game, so I won't comment, but notice that the h7 pawn is a huge target....If white's bishop could switch diagonals, it would be game set. 🙂
Anyone who hasn't seen it got any ideas? TONY has given the thought behind the two moves.
