Game 11... yet another 1.d4!

Beautiful play from Kramnik in the last few moves, or else Topalov is playing really badly. Just look at White's king and black-squared bishop now!

kramnik's putting the pressure on now!

I think Topalov is going to offer a draw now 🙂

I think the bluetooth divice in Topalov's skull has malfunctioned again, and he's having to rely on his own meagre ability.

I think Topa is in a bit of trouble I suppose he'll be able to hold a draw,but i hope he'll lose.Go Kramnik.

It's incredible how the whole chess world has united behind Kramnik in this match. Topalov plays such original and exciting chess that in any normal situation it would be him that we would be cheering on, but because of his bad sportsmanship he has lost the respect of his peers and us woodpushers alike.

What happens after 39.Be1 Nh2+ 40.Kg1 Rd1 ?

Wow - I had the browser frozen and when I "refreshed" the board I couldn't believe how the position has changed !!!

I'm just going through the last few moves over and over again. Am just amazed on how Kramnik squeeze his way through from defensive to attacking. And he did it without going to the toilet too!

This is a critical position and in Kramnik's place I would go now to toilet just to make Toppy nervous 🙂
