Topalov - Kamsky match logo


Today the match between Topalov and Kamsky started. The first game ended in a draw after an interesting Grünfeld in which Topalov sacrificed a pawn for the initiative.

We bring here the logo of the match, Bulgarian (Cyrillic) version and chess.com version. I took it from Susan Polgar's blog.

There is a smaller version that uses the Latin alphabet in the official webpage, but I suppose most chessplayers -smart guys- will be able to read here TOPALOV-KAMSKY, SOFIA 2009.

If we use our mind to delete the chess.com logo, as we would do to imagine the chessboard after some material exchange and simplification, we can see two eagles (or are they vultures?) on top of two spheres that evoke the head of two pawns: a white pawn, a black pawn.

It is going to be a great match. It is already a great logo.
