After 2 games of the first round of the FIDE Candidates Matches there has only been one decisive result. This was Gata Kamsky's win over Veselin Topalov, in a game that could hardly be called 'classical'. Looking at the game it was not clear what Topalov was trying to achieve, with his queen out of play, and his king never reaching safety. Kamsky's position wasn't that visually appealing either, but he at least had the excuse he was trying to over run White's position. At the press conference after the game Topalov simply said "I played very badly"

Topalov looked like a whipped puppy after this game...
