The forfeit i don't count. If Topa wins (excluding forfeit) more games then i consider him the better. If he wins (excluding forfeit) the same number of games then it's up in the air. At this point I consider it tied. I'm not considering the psychological pressure Kramnik had to put up with, since i consider it part of the game, the ability to handle pressure. Let's see if he can pull himself together.

... I would even like to see 2 extra games played since there were 2 days break out of the schedule, and because of the forced winning. To prove to the chess world (a couple of more times) who is the undisputed World Chess Champion.
i think there has been unfair non-chess beligerence against kramnik by the opponents team and the media and the organising committee - all found guilty, and so kramnik deserves an imediate pause of up to two weeks.
otherwise the kramnik camp may forever claim that this match was simply rigged - if topalov is so good(which seems possible - but is unproven) then he deserves an uncompromised win, and should not be held back by his pathetic team and a sym-pathetic committee.
i think the match should then continue with game 5 not counting (but game 9 does count as a compromise to topalov), and an extended match should be organised so that we can determine o.t.b. who deserves the win.
Fantastic? Please don't make me laugh...
You can't compare Toppy performance with *any* master from the past.
Taking advantage over the blunders of your opponent doesn't mean you are a gm... It only means that you are a good player, and that your opponent goes wrong.
BTW, Top was playing too fast, and according to my anayisis he is playing the first line that my engine calculates after a few seconds.
He seems don't being a human player, only a poor imitation of an engine.
I'm done with you, LA.
You have more than an account, I'm sure. Stop trolling the forums.
You are simply put an idiot mete mierda.

You always have a good way with words CLT.
Straight forward, without any games... so people know where they stand. 🙂.
it would also be nice if any engine analysis claims is accompanied by a copy and paste of what the claimer sees.

I'll try to do it, but I'm not sure I could...
I was following the 4 or so last games of the match using an engine. While making so, I lost the pleasure of calculating by myself the moves while following the games "live". But I can assure you that Topalov has a great match-up with my poor machine/engine. At a low ply depth, and a short time.
I'm not accusing BY NO WAY Topa being cheating.
But his playing is not, by no way. being human. It stinks like a machine.
Also, I didn't take a record of coincidences. I mean, I was surprised by the high number, but to be honest, I can't make a case from this, and I don't want, mainly because the quick play of Topa.
Anyway, I want to enjoy the games LIVE.
If any analysis is in order to determine suspiccious play, may be I will conduct one after the match is finished.
