His game against Topalov today was truly spectacular. As for him winning games "due to opponent errors", how else is he supposed to win? And regarding the game you mentioned (Yermolinksy-Kasparov) I disagree with your assessment. White's light squared bishop was a wretched piece for the entire game. Kasparov had a textbook good knight vs. bad bishop position, which he converted nicely. If you have analysis proving a draw for White, I would love to see it, but it wouldn't change my general opinion about the nature of Black's advantage in the game. --Peter
