Kramnik finally unified the title in 2006 by beating Topalov who made
a fool of himself by accusing him of cheating in a stormy match dubbed
"Toiletgate." They no longer are on speaking terms
<Topalov's manager Silvio Danailov is a sleazy, shady character. It's
thought by some that he was sending coded hand signals to Topalov at
San Luís 2005. His accusation that Kramnik was cheating in his 2006
match with Topalov was a classic case of the pot calling the kettle
black.> -- Taylor Kingston
