It was a nice run by Topalov. And, of course he had help from Svidler who beat
Fritz in round 12 and Morosewic who drew Fritz in round 13. With the exception
of Polgar who seems to have an extremely difficult time even drawing against
Fritz, it looks like the superGMs started getting Fritz' number (albeit a little
too late). Svidler beat Fritz by allowing it as black to effectively play white
with 1. a3 and surprisingly, playing an open game where he was able to push
pawns and force Fritz to trade often (including Fritz trading down on the
exchange of a rook for a knight). A very interesting game.
