World Chess Championships

[zebano]

So anyone following the World Chess Championships in San Luis, Argentina? Topalov is taking everyone to town (5.5/6 so far). It rather reminds me of when Fischer crushed Taimanov and Bent Larson in the 1972 candidates matches.

Personally, I like round robins between the best in the world, but the championship should be a match; take the title from the current champion, so hopefully the winner will challenge Kramnik.

:beer: Heres to hoping Polgar puts up a few more wins.

Chessboxing is far superior to such a game as simple ol' chess.
