Tromsø 2014 R5 : Kramnik crushed Topalov !

Kramnik impressive against Topalov

If Russia didn’t succeed in winning his match against Bulgaria, at least one satisfaction for Kramnik is his impressive victory over Topalov. The Russian team could have win this match if Karjakin didn’t blundered his game against Valentin Iotov (2553).

Azerbaijan and Serbia drew their match, with a very nice win of Mamedyarov over Ivanisevic, and a surprising win from Perunovic (2602) over Radjabov (2724).

Armenia took the match 2.5-1.5 against Norway, with a draw between Aronian and Carslen, despite a pawn down for the world champion.
