Topalov appears to be moving very quickly.......another bad move.

I was saying earlier... Topalov moving like playing blitz.... but not necessarily winning.

Kramnik is running low on time, he's almost down to a move a minute.

should be OK on time.... almost time control... at least that is normally the case... is it the same here?

Amazing the mind of a GM. I would think of cashing in on the e4 knight. But Kramnik was after the rook instead.

Black's position seems to be pretty playable - I don't think we will see quick finish here.

You may be right, but it seems like positionally taking the knight had more certain options for white. Now Kramnik has to keep Topalov thinking so he can make the most out of his 11min. over the next 7 moves.

I thought f3 was apealing also, but now that I see it again, maybe not such a good idea... dangerous to expose the king with blacks bishops still on the board!
