Ponomarjovs only tournament in the last year. It looks like he is a little bit
overrated at the moment. No wonder,without any tournamentpraxis.

The kid latest tournament with tournamentgames was the cc of the Ukraine. It
lost the first round 0,5: 1.5 and was out of the tournament. It plays typicall
for a child not stable in Bilbao. A easy win against DeepJunior and a good game
in the last round against Fritz with a lot of luck for the program, and two
really weak games for a GM.

Topalov was strong enough two dominate 3 of 4 games against the computers and
played the game against Fritz as a result of his disapointing 50% too wild and
lost of course. He would do better in match with more games.

Just some thoughts of someone who knows the scene of human chessprofessionals a
little better as the charming Chrilly.
