since the match (against Anand). "I was happy with how I played the

Yeah I notice how Anand seemed happy with draws against weaker
players. *Lack of a killer instinct cost him the tournament.

He was the only unbeaten player but he finished 4th. After 4 or 5
draws at the start he should have tried everything to win even if he
had lost, just to break the sequence. I am sure Polugaevsky says he
used to do that.

I hope Anand annihilates Topalov. It'll be a weird match because the
world's number 1 won't be taking part. That hasn't happened since 1969.
