As far as I can remember, this is the first forfieted game in a world championship match since Fischer-Spassky 1972. Is that correct? If so, it can be added to the trivia section. Bubba73 (talk), 00:01, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
I think another notable trivia fact is that every game thus far has been 1. d4. I am not sure why, and I don't think it should be stated why, though I suspect that both players want to avoid a possible petroff, which may be a waste of a white. Anyway, I think that all 10 games being d4 is notable.
There should absolutely be a news article on the main page about this bizzare match.-- DCo 00:33, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
I have started the FIDE World Chess Championship 2007 article now that the candidates' tournament seems likely to go ahead. BlueValour 00:55, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
does anybody have the exact times when the games are beginning on each day? I guess they should be added...
oops, I see it is already stated... forget what I said... Sirana 08:53, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
I have created the article Classical World Chess Championship 2004. I should welcome help in developing it. I wonder if any skilled person could put the results in a table, please, so they line up? BlueValour 21:07, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
I have created this new category, as a subset of Chess competitions, since articles on the world championship were starting to get hard to find in a large category. BlueValour 21:11, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm slightly skeptical about Chessbase's implication that Team Topalov is accusing Kramnik of cheating with Chessbase's software - especially when Rybka is, I think, universally agreed to be the stronger program. However, I think it's a significant enough claim to be included with what I hope is Chessbase's potential conflict-of-interest as a source made clear. Ribonucleic 16:43, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Since Polgar has commented, I'm proceeding on the assumption that Danailov has actually issued this press release. Since the bathroom section is pretty long and dense already - and since this seems to be the first time Team Topalov has officially implied (though still not accused - contrary to the Chessbase article heading) Kramnik is cheating - I'm giving it its own section. Ribonucleic 17:14, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm admittedly partisan. But I think the statement that Topalov "outplayed" Kramnik is misleading. Kramnik blundered by snatching the g-pawn and Topalov effectively punished him for it. That's not the same as Topalov opening a commaning lead early and keeping it throughout the game. Ribonucleic 18:10, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
If nobody objects, I'll use bold for the notation of the actual game, and non-bold for the rest. That'll be much easier to read and is used everywhere. I guess there's nothing in Wikipedia against it.
What do you say?

The article implies that Topalov was fine before f6?? but Kasparov said that Topalov's position was already very unpleasant.
FIDE says Wednesday. [3] Chessbase says Thursday. [4] I need to know so I can take off from work! Ribonucleic 20:15, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Can someone put in the ECO codes of the games? Perhaps in the subsection headings. Bubba73 (talk), 05:27, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
This article is being featured in "In the News" on the front page. See Main Page. There is a template that can be used to note this, but I can't find it. Carcharoth 22:51, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
1984 World Chess Championship between Karpov and Kasparov started with 5:0 deficit of Kasparov. It was later abandoned without a result.( Igny 04:03, 14 October 2006 (UTC))
The article looks kinda long. Should the game scores and analysis be moved to another article perhaps? Walter Chan 04:07, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I don't mind. Checking on Google and with various dictionaries, both seem acceptable and the FIDE site mixes both. What is important is that we are consistent. At the moment we use tie-break and tie-breaker and I suggest that we stick to that formulation unless anyone feels strongly enough to definitively source tiebreak. BlueValour 19:01, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
I have replaced the picture with a copy of the match logo because, having studied the licence again, I am not confident that the licence applies. BlueValour 23:56, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't know if anyone fancies the work but it would be cool to link each of the games under Schedule to the relevant game score. BlueValour 01:46, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
An interesting point was raised as to whether including chess engine analysis is OR. My inclination is that it is not since it is fully verifiable. I have added a query on this at Wikipedia talk:No original research. BlueValour 15:51, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
I have created a stub for Silvio Danailov. Contributions to expand the non-Elista parts of his biography are invited! BlueValour 03:15, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
