Kamsky blunders to give Topalov an upper hand in the match. We have just 3 more games to go and Topalov clearly has an upper hand. For Kamsky, the only hope is that he has the white pieces in the 6th game. Kamsky played the French Defence, equalized pretty comfortably and sailing on towards a draw, before he committed a shocking blunder. Kamsky needs to strike immediately if he hopes to survive. That will make the match all the more lively.

Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria will start the Chess World Championship Challenger's match with the white pieces. A colorful opening ceremony was conducted today. Knowing Topalov, he would like to start with a bang and retain the initiative right till the end, especially since this is an ultra short match. Don't be surprised if he comes up with some spicy home cooked recipe. Kamsky is no slouch either. He is best equipped to handle Topalov's aggressive style. We will cover the important stages of the game live. It is rumored that Kamsky had problems with the lighting arrangement at the venue. GM Georgiev will try to break the Guiness record for the most consecutive Chess games played. The record is currently held by IM Andrew Martin.
