New lines after today's draw:
Topalov +100
Kramnik -110.

Any idea? (Warning: I suck at chess). Solely because of the idea that I have that Topalov was introducing novelties in these Slav lines they've been playing over and over and Kramnik has been consistently behind on time do I think that maybe Topalov should be slight favourite. If this is so, Topalov at evens should be +EV by some amount, and I don't see how he can be -EV.
