I dunno man, Fischer forfeited game 2 vs Spassky '72. He also forfeited his title to Karpov. Not to mention all the controversial anti-semetic, anti-US comments he has made and the incredible chess he has played. | ||

15:30h: Topalov is sitting at the board, Kramnik's clock is running. The "game" was started at 15:22h Elista time. 15:45h: Kramnik is in his rest room, and is waiting for his toilet to open. ------------------------------- I would have peed over the board, screw them. | ||

Yeah, instead of acting like a 5 year old they should act like 3 year olds, I see your point But yeah, what the hell are they arguing about.. Do they think he's shooting up in there? Having someone phone in / leave notes with analyzis by some chess computer :[?! | ||

Remember, innocent until proven guilty. And unless Topalov has some *proof* (tapes of tapping or whatever you think is going on), not just 'he spends too much time on the pot', why should Kramnik be considered guilty? | ||

topalov - adopted at age 12 to play only chess all day every day. Kramnik - toilet fetish. 2 top chess players i the world ladies and gentlemen ^_^. i love eccentric people. that's why i like people who like anime and chinese people and uhh... MMRPG players, though they sometimes get so boring. | ||

back in fischers day this was one of his favourite way of trying to wear down his oponent. making outrageous demands and when the oponent gave in they lost horribly as a consequence. coinsidence? hardly. spassky for example openly admitted afterwards that if he had stood his ground he would probably had won, but he was very gentlemanlike and wanted more than anything to secure the future of the match when fischer started to threaten to abandon the match. | ||
