Anyone following Mtel Chess Tournament?

Looks like Adams vs. Topalov today. Doesn’t get much bigger than that.

Adams chose a closed sicilian.

I don’t really know these guys Krishnan Sasikiran (ind) or Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (Aze.).

Anyway. . .Adams is underway.

I’m following it in the sense that it’s on the news every night, in the sports highlights bit. Where the hell is that Adams guy from? I don’t recognize the flag on his name label.

GM Michael Adams is from England. . .and he blew a win against Topalov today.

That must be cool to get chess on the news every night.

Brilliant game today between Sasikiran and Mamedyarov. White blew a win in a very complicated position *after *he had reached time control.
