THE ACCUSED

News from worldchessnetwork.com

The chess world has been rocked by a scandal. Kommersant has learned
that the Association of Chess Professionals is about to begin an
investigation of suspicions that former world chess champion and first-
ranked player in the FIDE (World Chess Federation) rating Veselin
Topalov regular received advice from the auditorium during his
matches. It is possible that, if the investigation goes ahead, it will
use a video recording of one of his matches that is already in the
possession of Kommersant. Topalov's manager Silvio Danailov has stated
that a suit has already been filed against the German journalist whose
publication whipped up the scandal and that similar action will be
taken against anyone who tries to besmirch Topalov's reputation.

P.S. GM Larry Evans suggested that a vital part of the investigation
will be checking Danailov's cell phone records when the suspected
games at Corus were in progress.

Poetic Justice at its finest

I watched the video that the article quoted and it does look
suspicious.

Personally NOBODY should be allowed near or within sight of the
players. That would put an end to all of this suspicious activities


I think in Topolovs next tourny someone should follow his manager
around with a video camera... get right in his face with it and see
how well Topolov does. If he does extremely well, then all
accusations will prove to be false, if not... well the results will
speak for themselves.

It sure does

Even though the video doesn't directly prove anything, I very much doubt
Danailov will try to act that way again. He'd only get himself thrown
out.

If he does extremely well, then all
accusations will prove to be false, if not... well the results will
speak for themselves.

Not sure you can infer much from Topa's results in the immediate futu
there should be no doubts that he is capable of playing well without or
without "assistance", and he also has a high variance playing style
which makes his rating performances fluctuate quite a bit.

However, if Topa never performs at the 2800 level again, that should say
something.

This is completely ****ed! Nobody seems to have a problem that Kramnik makes
50+ washroom visits per game during his match with Topalov, of which he
provides no explanation for, but when Topalov's manager simply talks on his
cell accusations start flying.

Danailov puts his hand on his chin once while watching the game, then leaves
the room to take a phone call. If that's "suspicious" to you, you're a
complete ****ing moron!

Topalov has been a world-class Super GM for many years. A better suggestion
would be to have someone follow YOU around with a video camera and have the
tape reviewed by a psychiatric panel to determine whether or not you need to
get back on a
NAME-BRAND medication

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you two retards couldn't figure out on
your own that this is nothing more than a reprisal for Danailov's, very
legitimate, complaint about Kramnik's 50+ washroom visits per game and what
that may imply.

Well then what is the excuse when he stopped going to the toilet and
still beat Topalov.

I saw the film on YouTube. The charges are ridiculous. All Danailov is doing
is scratching his nose, holding his jaw. Is it possible to convey chess
moves that way? I doubt it.

Never took signals from a third-base coach, did you?
