Hello,
	There is a new post on The Chess Mind.  You can read it at:

It begins:

	If Topalov's anything, he is resilient! Needing to
	win with the White pieces, he pulled it off.
	Kramnik was in decent shape after the opening, but
	the position that arose featured a precariously
	unequal equality. Objectively, the position was
	probably equal; practically, it was in Topalov's
	favor, for two reasons. First, his position was
	easier to play; second, the cost of a mistake by
	him was fairly minimal, while a Kramnik error would
	be catastrophic. And so it was: Kramnik's 34...Ke7
	may have been well-motivated, but it turned his
	king into roadkill....
