Looks like the same story, as last game but different format. Topalov bounced out of the blocks with white and mounted a ferocious attack on Kramnik’s king. Kramnik held on and Topalov made several mistakes which look like they’re gonna cost him the game. A shocking start for the better player. It looks like 2-0 to Kramnik.

Nicholas, the link doesn’t take you anywhere interesting.
But from your para, should that be a reference to Ali vs Foreman and Ali’s “rope-a-dope” tactics in the “Rumble in the Jungle” rather than the “Thrilla in Manila”?
There was only one Ali-Foreman bout that I know of – rope-a-dope.
Thrilla in Manilla was Frazier I’m pretty sure. And the most gruelling thing I’ve ever seen if it’s the one I’m thinking.
Sorry – the link to Susan Polgar’s blog is here.
The actual fabulous game can be played through here.
Nicholas, I’m very sorry. But I mistakenly read “Frazier” for “Foreman” in your title. I have no explanation why I did that. You’re right.
