Kamsky Falters in Game Two |
February 18, 2009 | |
Gata Kamsky lost the second game of the World Chess Challenge Match
(Feb. 16-28) against GM Veselin Topalov. This was a sad one for Kamsky fans, as Gata lost with White in the first time control. Topalov chose the Berlin Defense, which was presumably a surprise, since Gata spent over an hour on the first ten moves. 2896 Tomorrow is a rest day, but root on a Kamsky comeback starting at 8 AM EST on Friday. Watch live on the Internet Chess Club,the official website, or chessdom, where there will be live GM coverage.
