Round 13 of Linares was played out on Saturday with Morozevich beating then former FIDE Champion, Topalov while the rest of the games were drawn. The game between the 2 was interesting with a lot of useful lesson. First White went into the endgame with a microscopic advantage where draw is a most likely result, then Topalov fight on and White gets an outside passed pawn. Later the game turn into a K+Ps vs K+Ps endgame then K+Q+P vs K+Q+P and finally K+Q+Q vs K+Q+P where Topalov finally resigned.
The final position of the game.
Replay the game here.
