Hanon Russell has published a one-on-one interview with former world champion Veselin Topalov, in the ChessCafe Skittles Room. Topalov describes his early years in chess, how he came to team up with his manager Silvio Danailov, and doesn't sidestep numerous questions from Hanon about his 2006 match with Kramnik in Elista.

Topalov's new book has just come out, entitled Topalov-Kramnik 2006 World Chess Championship: On the Edge in Elista. You can read a review of the book here.
