World Chess Champ Topalov "Fraudster" - 2005-11-11

An unnamed participant in the World Chess Championship in San
Luis, Argentina, has accused Chess King Bulgarian Vesselin Topalov of
using unallowed measures to win the title, index.hu reported.

According to the article published on the site the allegations
remained secret because of "games behind the curtain." Such
allegations, however, are common for the chess world. It is not clear
who has raised the allegations against the Chess King, but this man
claims that during several games aide Ivan Cheparinov and manager
Silvio Danailov have helped Topalov.

The site reports that after each move of Topalov, Cheparinov has
used computer analysis of the game and has then secretly signaled the
chess king for the next move. Peter Leko has also voiced his
suspicions that Topalov has used unfair advantage by sitting on the
same place during the entire championship. FIDE however, has not
undertaken any measures due to lack of evidence.

This is old news. Mig Greengard, for example, posted it in early
November:

Unless the accuser identifies himself and/or offers some real
evidence, one is disinclined to give this much credence.

It appears that for once we agree on something, Phil. Now, may I ask
again, where is that group where Lawrence replied to Sloan?

I refer my Vermont colleague to an answer made moments ago [to. St. Louis.].
To wit, ask Sam Sloan. Phil

Jeez, Phil, you gave the impression that you had read Lawrence's
reply yourself on some other newsgroup. It seems you should surely be
able to tell me where it was that Lawrence replied.

Taylor Kingston, for the last time, I don't read anything. I just spam
crap when I feel like it.
