In my eyes is the winner who won the direcctly Duell. German: in meinen Augen sollte die Feinwertung entscheiden, und wenn die gleich ist so sollte der direkte Vergleich zählen. Hat Garry Topalov besiegt auch? Wenn Ja, so soll er Sieger sein, wenn Nein, so ist für mich der wahre Sieger dann Topalov. Garry in only 30 moves to beat, that is very strong!!! Or? [Event "XXII Torneo Internacional de Linares"] [Site "Linares"] [Date "2005.03.10"] [Round "14"] [White "Topalov, Veselin"] [Black "Kasparov, Garry"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "B30"] [WhiteElo "2757"] [BlackElo "2804"] [PlyCount "59"] 1. e4 c5 2.
