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. KarinsDad :)
