Highlights:

In an interview to the Spanish newspaper ABC, Topalov blamed a
conspiracy between KGB, Ilymzhinov and Kramnik for his loss in the
Match.

He claimes that:

1. Bulgarians found an internet cable in Kramnik's toilet but were too
afraid to go public with it.
2. They receicved death threats.
3. Topalov tried to escape KGB by flying out of Elista, but Ilyumzhinov
closed the airport.

He even recalled Litvinenko: "KGB will never admit that they poisoned
Litvinenko, even though it's obvious, nor that Kramnik cheated."

Topalov erneuert Betrugsvorwürfe gegen Kramnik

In einem Interview mit der spanischen Tageszeitung ABC hat Veselin
Topalov seine Betrugsvorwürfe gegen Kramnik erneuert. Der ganze
Wettkampf in Elista hätte unter starker Anspannung stattgefunden. Das
Topalov-Team sei von Anfang an bedroht worden. Kramnik hätte sich
durch seine häufigen Besuche der Toilette verdächtig gemacht. Später
habe man dort ein Netzwerkkabel gefunden, so Topalov. Man habe dies
aber nicht veröffentlicht, sonst wäre der Wettkampf womöglich
abgebrochen worden und das Preisgeld wäre verloren gewesen. Außerdem
hätte es Drohungen gegeben. Kramnik hätte vermutlich Hilfe vom
KGB-Leuten bekommen, nicht von Profispielern, die ihm die Computerzüge
vorgesagt hätten. Auch Kramniks Team sei nicht eingeweiht gewesen,
glaubt Topalov. Nach dem Protest hätte man die Cheating-Methoden
verbessert. Auch in den Schnellschachpartien des Stichkampfes hätte
Kramnik gecheatet, was sich an seinem Verhalten gezeigt hätte. Das im
Bad gefundene Kabel sei für ihn der Beweis, das Kramnik betrogen
hätte, so Topalov

Yes, it is very suspicious to go out to the toilet so often during chess
games :-)

See, this is why you should all be playing backgammon instead !

Go to the backgammon then. We are talking here about a real game :-)

You do have trouble with logic. If the use of a computer is the problem,
then playing backgammon (where there are also world class strength
programs) instead of chess makes no difference. The solution would be to
play Go, since computers can play that game only on an amateur level.

But since you are a gambler, a game of skill like chess and go is no
option for you anyway! We covered that in the other thread already.
