The Catalan Again?

     Are you surprised that The Catalan was played for a third time with Anand
as white?  Did you expect him to trade queens in that position?  If Topalov can
draw again with black in Game 7 is he back in the match? 
     What did you think of the two knights versus two bishops battle?  What
will be the opening in Game 7?  Will there be another Catalan?

Remember that in match play the winner is the "first to get 6-1\2 points out of 12 (since it's a 12 game match)". So to be able to get "back in the game" after a loss you HAVE to win a game. If the rest of the games are all drawn for example since Anand is a point ahead he will win by reaching 6-1\2 points first- So the pressure is on Topalov to decide a game in his favor even if he accomplishes this they would still only be equal and to win the match (or be ahead) he would have to win yet another game.

Since Anand has been winning with the catalan I would be surprised if he quits playing it . I think Topalov should avoid it since he's not doing well against it with only 1 draw and 2 losses. I expect Anand may play it again , if allowed, in game 7 .  Topalov is behind so I think he will likely be the one to "blink" first.
