Veselin Topalov simultaneous exhibition Zurich 2009

[xxxIronLeexxx]

He looks like such a stylish guy.

[edgelit]

@xxxIronLeexxx because he is. :)

[morrowindmods]

well take in note he cant concentrate to much on one person ...

He is playing against so much its hard

[Voiceoftheunheard]

Why is Topalov white in every game?

[Ruxistico]

@Voiceoftheunheard so that nobody can use his own moves against him. If he played alternating colours then the players could just imitate his moves thus forcing him to play against himself. Therefore the champion usually plays white on all the boards.

[adhdboy699]

@Voiceoftheunheard Because he is playing 15 games at once.... that is standard for simuls in 99 percent of simuls the gm is always white

[dannyp136]

@adhdboy699 In my opinion (although it would be stupid) The gm could have a crazy memory and just make 2 people play each other lol. (if one was black and the other was white)

But yeah, I think youre right, anyhow

[adhdboy699]

@dannyp136 Yea, you should look at Darren Brown beats 9 chess players. He made 8 of them secretly play each other!

[Simenter13]

@Voiceoftheunheard It's easier for him to think

[vokuheila]

what the?? Topalov lost TWO games?? How did that happen

[allofyourdreams]

@vokuheila i guess there were some really strong players playing, like FM or IMs, for example Kasparov have this rule, no one above 2000 ELO can play against him in sim

[jbm2005]

pretty cool

[pAbedaNSK]

lol topalov and kramnik hate each other,

[Fupper16]

if i played topalov in a simul ALL I HAVE TO DO is run to the bathroom AND THEN HE LOSES HIS CONCENTRATION AND I WIN

[wiseone0001]

I wonder if Topalov accused the two winners of going to the bathroom and using Fritz...

[fluterswarta]

2 Losses? Daaamn!

[adelaide7vincenzo]
