according to www.veselintopalov.net Topalov was not treated equally The day before game 12 .....last night the six guards of Veselin Topalov's villa have been found sleeping while being on duty. The guards have been caught by a patrol car. The news was reported by Zhivko Ginchev for the Bulgarian website topsport.bg. At the same time the villa of Kramnik is guarded by three times more professional guards from the Russian army. other news Presidential airplane not allowed by Russian authorities: On Wednesday Bulargian president Georgi Parvanov chartered a flight for Veselin Topalov. The plane was to take off for Bulgaria immediately after the championship finished, reported focus-sport.net. Authorities, however, did not allow the plane to enter Russian territory. No reason was given. " This is a scandal," Mr. Silvio Danailov said,"nobody explained why the plane was not allowed to land in Russia." At the same time, a plane will come for Vladimir Kramnik and is granted full access to the airport in Elista.

gambler104: Yes, Kramnik won the match twice in the end. 3 wins to 2 at classical chess, then 2.5 to 1.5 at rapid chess. The great news for the chess world now is that no-one can really argue about who is the champion anymore. Now that Topalov has lost I find it easier to forgive him for his team's behaviour. It is a shame for him too. He played the more attacking chess (IMO) and if he had just kept his nerve at the vital moments he could have been ahead in the match after the first 2 games. He blundered later on too didn't he? I think he played so much better in San Luis.
