Topalov pushes Kamsky to defeat

Topalov surprised Kamsky by unleashing the relatively lesser used 5... Bc5. Kamsky lost the game on the clock, prefering to play accurate chess than to take chances. Kudos to Topalov for taking risks in such a short match. Credit is even more due since Topalov was also out of his prepartion as early as move 9. Every single game is critical now. Even a draw means a lot, especially to Topalov, although knowing him he'll probably try to shut the door on Kamsky in the next couple of games. A just result considering that Topalov attacked relentlessly over two games.
