Gata Kamsky finally ended Alex Shirov’s challenge and won the chess world cup to set himself up for a match against the fallen champion Topalov for the right to face the winner of Anand - Kramnik. Kamsky has had an amazing comeback year and though he will be an underdog against the mighty Topalov, he will be in it with a chance. Can we have the second U.S. world champion after Bobby Fischer in Gata Kamsky? Time will tell.
