Kasparov on Anand Topalov?

Post by bigo »

Is there any commentary or statements of Kasparov on the World Championship between Anand and Topalov? I don't have a clue where to begin a search since there is no Kasparov website.

If I remember correctly, sigh, 20 year old scotch makes me foggy.
Shipov quoted some of Kasparov's thoughts on :

You simply *must* go to NM Dana Mackenzie's blog:

He translates the Shipov/Kasparov commentary from www.crestbook.com, which of course is in Russian.

Best resource I have found on the match.

Kasparov has said that he thinks both are memorizing Rybka lines.

He has advised that both start consulting Firebird 1.2 x64 to raise their level of play.

Kasparov has said that if they dont switch to Firebird, one of them will lose.

Deep Thought

Are you really sure he's joking?

Firebird is strong like a bull!
