He is crushing Kramnik
He must be really really good. How does he move so fast?
What are your predictions for Kamsky vs. Topalov?

It's clear that he has prepared better and is understanding the
position better than Kramnik in one line of chess.
This has translated to two wins. It is premature to see/say if this is
crushing Kramnik in the championship.
On the board in a specific game, it has been tight and close but
decisive
Anand has always been known for moving fast, and claims that this is
natural.
However, all Grandmasters move fast when they have prepared/analysed
the situation in their homework, and in the specific games we have
seen, this is definitely the case for both Anand and Kramnik
I predict Topalov will win. Mixed feelings on the prediction.

I am pulling for Gata in that game , he is about one hundred elo points
lower so he will have his work cut out for him ..
Gata has to play his best in every game and Top can have a slight off
day and still win....
Another thing i hope Gata believes in his mind he can win because
going into a match like this if he has any doubts then he has already
lost ..

I think Anand may be that good or that prepared. Remember his last game
against Carlsen. It was surprisingly good and put a stake in the ground
and said, "not this year". I think Anand is all of the sudden really
prepared for the world and is just now turning it on!

I would pick Topalov. In fact I would like to see a match between
Topalov and Anand. I believe Topalov is the kind of player who can
beat Anand. I honestly feel that although Kramnik is a world champion
player his style of play suits Anand. And yes, Anand is a very good
player but Kramnik is making him look better. :)

maybe kramnik is not really good. i have seen him in dortmund this year
and it was pretty unimpressive.

2-0 up is not crushing Kramnik.
7-0, 8-2, 6-0, 5=BD-1=BD etc they are all crushes.
Kasparov lost 2-0 with a load of draws to Kramnik, will history
therefore say, "Kramnik was definitely better than Kasparov"?
Capablanca beat Lasker 4-0 in a match; he clearly couldn't be
bothered.
Topalov will annihilate Kamsky. If so it'll be a shame because I
really like Kamsky.
