That's cold!!

Μπορεί ο Caruana να "έφαγε" τον κουβά στο κεφάλι, αλλά ο Topalov ήταν αυτός που "πήρε την κρυάδα" στον πρώτο γύρο του Singuefield cup στο Saint Luis.

Be1 {Ah, the point of 17.g4!? Topalov wants to play Bg3 and control dark squares. Fabiano nicely thwarts his opponent's plans.} b5 $1 {In the commentary afterwards, Fabiano said he was worried a bit about the c5 pawn, but thought it would be okay.} 19.

By trading pieces and giving black Be5, his g4 move is simply weakening. Now black seizes the initiative!} Nxd5 21. Bxd5 Bf7 22. Nf5 Be5 23. Qd2 $2 {Fabiano thought this was the losing move. Now black gets to hop his knight to a great square, and with tempo!} Nd4 $1 24. Bxf7+ Rxf7 {With Nb3 in the air, and 25.Nxd4 unplayable, due to 25...Qxd4+ forking, white is in big trouble.} 25.
