The show must go on

The word from the chessbase site is that there will be a 6th game - starting at 7am eastern time this morning. That's about 9 minutes from now! What was the settlement? The appeals committee was replaced, the bathrooms will be allowed, and Kramnik's forfeit in game 5 will stand. So the score is 3-2 in Kramnik's favor. I guess we're lucky the score wasn't tied, or he was only up by 1 point. Then I wonder if he would have agreed to that.

Topalov has played some amazing 2nd half's of tournaments. It seems like this is when he really shines. So it should be a very interesting second half.

Good Monday Morning to all!
