Almasi Zoltan (HUN) - Topalov Veselin (BUL) Monte Carlo (Monaco)



[#] The Bulgarian grandmaster turned out to be a victim in this game. 28.f5! exf5 29.exf5 xg2 30.xg2 f8

[More stubborn is the 'Kasparovian': 30...e7 31.h4 h5 (31...f8 32.f6 , and the checkmate on g7 is inevitable.) 32.gxh6 ce8 33.g3 d5 34.fxg6 fxg6 35.xg6 h8 , but White's position is also obviously better in this case.]

31.fxg6 fxg6 32.f7 h8 33.f6 g8 34.f7 h8 35.f5! e5

[35...gxf5 36.g6 , and Black is defenseless.]

36.e3 xf5 37.xf5 xe3 38.f6 g8 39.f7 h8 40.f2 e5 41.h4 c6 42.f6 g8 43.xd6 Black resigned. [1:0]
