Forwards
to
the
past?
The
outstanding
event of recent weeks
has
of
course been the
world
championship match
between
Viswanathan Anand
and Veselin
Topalov.
It took
place
in
Sofia,
in
other words
the native
country
of the challenger.
This
would previously
have
been
impossible
-
WCh
matches were always played on
neutral ground.
But nowadays
things
are
completely different.
The
"reunification match'
between
Kramnik
and
Topalov did not
take place
in
a
neutral
country, but
in
Russia
and
even
the
WCh
match
between
Kramnik
and
Anand
in
Bonn
was
not totally neutral
in
all
respects
-
the or-
ganisers,
UER
were closely
linked
to
Kramnik.
But
that had
absolutely
no
effect on
the
course
ofthe
contest.
could
not
simply
be
turfed
out
in
such
a
fash-
ion.
The
Bulgarian
was
installed
as a
Candi-
dates
finalist
and
qualified
as
the
challenger
as
the
result of
a
match
against
World
Cup
winner
Gata Kamsky.
The
half-life
of
FIDE
rules
for
world
champion-
ships
is
not
a
particularly
long
one.
Few
people
know
the present
state
of
affairs.
In
1995
the
then structure
of
a
three year
WCh
cycle
con-
sisting
of
zonal and
interzonal tournaments,
Candidates matches and the
WCh
match
itself
was
done
away
with
and replaced by
a
knock-
out tournament. After this
had
failed,
and
not
only
in
its
marketing,
IIDE
held
as
a
transition
measure
a
WCh tournament
in
2005.
Now
at
least
we
have
got back
to
the
starting
point
and
have
a
world
championship
match.
But this time
the players
did not
have
many
options. Apart
from
Sofia
there were
only two
other
bidders
for
the
match
-
Turkey
and Sin-
gapore
-
and
both
bids were
remarkably
quietly
withdrawn when
the
offer
from
Sofia reached
the desired level.
So
the
WCh
match
2010 was
organised by Topalov's manager
Silvio Dan-
ailov.
A
prize
fund
of
2
million
Euros,
1.2
to
go
to
the
victor
and
0.8
to
the loser,
was
a
good
enough
argument for
the
World
Champion to
put
his
title
on the
line
in
the challenger's
home
country.
It
should not
be
forgotten
Topalov was
only
result of
an
"act of
mercy"
on the
part
of the
FIDE presi-
dent.
When the conditions for
the
reunification
match
against
Kramnik in
2006 were
drawn
up,
Topalov
and his manager
Danailov
were
apparently
so
convinced of
his
victory
that
they did not
specify
as a
condition
any
sort
of
insurance
in
the
case
ofa
defeat.
A title
defence
against Radjabov
had
even been
agreed
upon.
It
came
as a
great
surprise when
Topalov
lost
to
Kramnik.
Fortunately Danailov
managed
to
convince Makropoulos that
the
WCh finalist
able
to
as
challenger
as
the
qualify
But
the rules
for qualification
are
once
more
in
flux.
Firstly, the challenger
was
to
be
the
victor
in
the
World
Cup
(FIDEt
knockout tourna-
ment).
Then the Topalov
amendment
was
introduced
and the
World
Cup
victor
had
first
to
play
a
match
against the
Bulgarian.
Now,
in
the next year
qualification
is
to
be decided by
a
tournament (or
matches),
to include
the
win-
ner of the
World
Cup,
two qualifiers
from
the
Grand Prix
series,
the losers
from
the
Candi-
dates
finals
and the
WCh
match, the
two
best
players
from
the EIo
list
and
a
nominee
from
the organiser. Things
might
look
quite different
next time.
Anatoly Karpov
has
put
his name
forward
for
the
forthcoming
election
of the
FIDE
president.
The
l2th
world
champion certainly
remembers
the once
reliably
regulated three year
cycle
for
the
world
championships.
Should
he
win
the
election
he
will
perhaps manage
to
restore at
least
in
part
the
system
which
has
been de-
stroyed and thus
to
restore some
order
to
the
whole
process.

An
interesting,
and
in
many
respects
remark-
able
world championship
is
now behind
us.
From
start
to finish, this highly exciting match
between
World
Champion Anand
and chal-
a
lenger Topalov
was
played out
in
Sofia
in front
ofonly
afew
dozen
spectators,
journalists
and
officials.
During
this time
the
world
of
chess
was
following it
on the
internet.
The course of the match
was
dramatic
at
times.
In
the
very
first
game,
with
the
white
pieces,
Topalov landed
a
real
knock-out blow
against
Anandt Griinfeld
Defence. The
Bulgarian hard-
ly
used
40
minutes
of his
allotted
thinking time
for
the game and
he
won
it in
only
30
moves.
Exciting
WCh
with
breath-taking finish:
in
the
final
game Topalov's
pav{ns
ran
out
on him
reasons
not to
play
this
move:
White
is
a
pawn
behind
and
so
in
principle
he should
be
seeking
to
keep the queens on the board.
And in
addi-
tion
he
ends up
with
unsightly doubled
pawns
on the a-fiIe.
But
Topalov
was
not
able
to
react
correctly to this innovation. Anand not only
re-
covered the pawn,
but
he got
more material
and
after
43 moves
he
had equalised:
1:1.
After
this
disastrous
start it
was
up
to
the
world
champion to
find
an
appropriate
reply.
And
he
did
so
in
impressive
fashion.
For
this
world
championship Anand
had prepared the Cata-
lan Opening
-
a
logical
choice
when playrng
against
an
opponent for whom
the
initiative
is
the
be-all
and
end-all
of the game
of
chess.
Anand
sacrificed
a
pawn,
in
return for
which
he
obtained
lasting pressure.
With
the move
l5.Wa3
(see
diagram)
he
amazed spectators and
commentators
alike.
In
fact there
are
important
After
these
convincing wins for White,
in
the
third
game
Anand
successfully
mixed
up some
concrete
with
his choice of the
Slav
Defence.
The challenger
was
never
able
to
set
up
any
real
pressure and the game ended
in
the
first draw
of the match. Whereas
Anand had
(above
all)
found
a safe
defence
in
the
Slav,
in
his second
game
with
Black against the Catalan
Opening
Topalov once
more
got
into
trouble.
