Topalov wins M-Tel Masters

... incredible outcome, Topalov takes sole victory in M-Tel Masters with a surprising 5,5 / 10 !

Also his performance is 2751 while his rating is 2772, so he'll lose some points because of this tournament...

Weird tournament. Topalov failed to impress against a weak field, when you would have expected a really strong performance. He needs to study a bit I think. Very surprised by Adams' result, that's just not acceptable to him I'm sure...
