Commentary of Round 6 games by GM Alexander Delchev

Topalov-Kramnik (1-0)
This game announces the big return for Topalov in the tournament. This is his first victory here in this tournament and his partial (at least psychological) revenge for the lost Championship match in 2006. Kramnik should be regretting missing the chance on move 10 to refute Topalov's opening experiment 8Be5... see game with commentary
