for all you guys out there what do you think that anand will do to defeat topolov's berlin defense in the ruy lopez
i dunno... cuz i HATE CHESS
team fortress 2 ftw!
When is there upcoming match?
Topalov plays the Berlin?
I'd be surprised if Anand meddles with much 1. e4 to be honest.
Are they having an upcoming championship match? If so when?
I think Topalov is more a sicilian player than 1...e5. He did win a game as black with the berlin in his Kamsky match though . Anand may play 1 d4 like he did in most of his white games with Kramnik.
The Berlin is bloody impossible to beat at the very top levels. ... but topalov does have a tendency to 'go for it' as black ... I can't see topalov playing the berlin, and i can't see anand allowing it. Slavfest 2009 :P.
