Well, after the long wait for this match, it is over. GM Veselin Topalov will get the right to challenge GM Viswanathan Anand for the World Chess Championship later this year. There will probably be squabbling about where/when the match will take place as well as the format, ie how many games..etc. Gata missed several winning moves in time trouble, which Topalov would not let go unpunished. It was a good match and if not for the time trouble mistakes, we would be going into game 8 tied. I doubt they will play game 8, but if they do, it will probably be a short draw.
Here is the game:
GM Veselin Topalov vs GM Gata Kamsky
GM Topalov: 4.5
GM Kamsky: 2.5
NOTE: These games and the games from Aeroflot 2009 will be uploaded for download in pgn format on the official www.transwarpchess.com website in the games page, hopefully today.
