Mr. Danailov’s letter concluded that if the match continues, Mr. Topalov “would refrain from shaking hands with Mr. Kramnik before the game..."

Chess championships have this behavior in spades. You have the florid emotions of prima donnas, combined with personalities that are trained for highly focused agression. That, plus professional history has a long history of utter corruption, so you can never completely discount the idea that cheating might be going on somehow.
Karpov actually had a professional starer sitting in the front row in his bouts with Kasparov.

Hey wazzup, Elizabeth. I've been commenting on other threads off-and-on, coming back in small doses. :)

Yeah, although that Gordon did frighten us momentarily. Or was it John? Eh, I forget now. Anyway, my old tuna fish tins went to feed my dog.
How are you holding up in NOLA? Everything tickety-boo where you are?
Hopefully!
