I mentioned this in another thread, but thought it would be of interest to everyone. If I did break some form of forum ettiquette, I apologize.

 

Some have wondered about the disappearance to Gata Kamsky. He IS back in chess! In fact, he will be playing Topalov later this year (if all the terms can get worked out) with the winner ultimately facing the winner of Anand/Kramnik for the world championship sometime in 2009. 

 

See this article from today's (1/27/08) online New York Times:

Sorry, I can't get the "link tool" to work properly in Safari on a Mac 

that is amazing. it was certainly surprising when he left. i hope he doesn't get crushed out of the gates...

Good information! Good for Kamsky and for World Chess.

Interesting!!!!

молодец!
