I'm surprised and delighted that Kramnik has retrieved his strength and his
extraordinary insight into positions. I also know Topalov sometimes starts
slow and picks up steam as an event progresses. Looks like he'd better not
put it off too long along Kramnik. I also hope Kramnik, with his early
lead, doesn't start playing for draws now.

Topalov misses 33.Rxg4+ which would have led to a more promising

has enough counterplay to hold the draw.A very exciting game!

Kramnik wins Game 2 according to
www.chessbasenews.com....He was able to win a clear exchange and the
rook proved to be too strong than Topalov's knight..2-0 Kramnik (and
I thought the hot player Topalov was favored to win)As I stated in
the previous post Topalov missed a win on move .33
