   It's not the result I hoped for, but Topalov deserves full credit for
   today's game, which was a complete massacre. Kramnik responded very
   poorly to Topalov's novelty, and quickly found himself in a
   prospectless position without space or counterplay, while Topalov
   enjoyed a powerful center, the two bishops, and a wide array of
   targets. A complete disaster for Kramnik, who had better pull himself
   together with just three games to play.
   The game, with my comments, can be replayed [1]here.
