Kramnik-Topalov: Game Six is Underway
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1159791451.shtml


   While [1]continuing his protest of the forfeiture in game five,
   Kramnik has decided in the meantime to keep playing. This feels
   strange to me on more than one level (Trying to have his cake (the
   high moral ground) and eat it (winning on points) too? Giving himself
   an excuse to quit the match if things go sour? Letting Topalov get
   away with his team's illegal protest and the absurd Appeals Committee
   decision?), but hopefully we can just enjoy the remaining games
   without worrying about any further chicanery.
