Dec-15-04		Benzol: A marvellous game, full of cut and thrust.

Dec-15-04		Sneaky: Notice that Minchev doesn't even try to use his Halloween Attack flimflammery against the likes of Topalov!

Dec-15-04		acirce: Topalov of course was not exactly the same Topalov as today back in 1989 when he was 14. Not even top-1000, says allmighty Chessmetrics.

Oct-27-05		azaris: Why did Topalov even bother to play this patzer who was rated 60 points lower at the time?

Oct-27-05		SnoopDogg: <Why did Topalov even bother to play this patzer who was rated 60 points lower at the time?> LOL!
