I've played plenty of games where my moves are almost all recommended by the computer. It's not that uncommon in some types of positions. The computer usage thing has a lot to do with the time spent on the move also. It's clear to me that he's not cheating. He should have been down 1/2 to 1 1/2 after game 2 instead of up 2-0. I think Topalov's manager is more of a problem here than Topalov himself. I figure he probably made a comment that Kramnik was going to the toilet a lot and Danailov just made a big mess out of it.

bengood24: That's probably the best argument against cheating. He could have lost the first game and should have done no better than drawn it and in game two, he was just dead lost.
