Topolov "The New World Chess Champion" by Andrew Zito
Though the headlines read "Topolov The New World Champion" The real =
story of heart breaking proportions was once again that which was behind =
the headlines, and beyond common perceptions where Anand finished =
second, and failed to become World Champion.
On the FIDE website the headlines announced "Topalov Undefeated World =
Champion, Anand Second", and on the Navind Times of India the headlines =
stated the home town favorite "Anand finishes second, Topolov is new =
world champion".
Though Garry Kasparov has for all intents and purposes quit chess for =
Russian politics, in an instance specifically affording GM Anand a great =
opportunity to win the world championship, as he entered as top
contender. This has become a terrible series of events for Anand, for =
quite possibly it results to forever prevent him from ever becoming the =
World Chess Champion, for which we express our bitter disappointment.

Following a recent chess column in the NY Times (
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/23/crosswords/chess/23chess.html ), I
recently played through a Topolov game. The striking thing: neither
side is a pawn ahead until move 40! Even then, things don't move
monotonically to victory. It's back and forth for awhile until, at move
73, Kasimdzhanov--the opponent--resigns.
The play is positional and slow. It's not exciting, but stands out as
careful chess. Each move has the appearance of avoiding numerous future
traps.

I thought Anand was chess champion one year; it may have been as a
knockout FIDE tournament player.
Anyway, Anand had his 15 minutes of fame and also has a chess school
and by his age should have salted away a couple of million.
Let somebody else get some limelight

Why don't you post it here instead of shilling for your web site?

Pushed Pawn, would you be so kind as to set your copy of outlook
express to post plain text ASCII instead of HTML? Thanks!
Also, don't post to rec.games.chess.computers unless your post
has something to do with computer chess.
