Supertournament in Sofia
The tournament in Sofia ended by the victory of the Bulgarian grandmaster Veselin Topalov that had scored 6.5 points out of 10. V.Anand won the 2nd place (5.5), J.Polgar and R.Ponomariov shared the 3rd and 4th places (5 points), M.Adams and V.Kramnik were the last (4 points). In the 10th Round the games Anand – Polgar and Ponomariov – Adams ended in draw, Kramnik contrived to make a one move blunder and resign to Topalov. There are no doubts that one certainly has to spread the tournament regulations (that forbids players to talk during the encounter) over all official competitions, and firstly over the FIDE fall world championship. Only the play from the first move till the last one and impossibility of cutting down the number of games (owing to the authority of participants) will lead to fairer results in every competition. And the sponsors having seen that chessplayers do not avoid struggle almost in the half of the encounters anymore, will probably direct their eyes (and money) on the game. Sofia gives chance to start a new epoch of chess competitions!
