Anand replied that he would not comply, prompting Silvio Danailov, Topalov's manager, to say "If Vishy doesn't agree to the rules he will be forced to, because Topalov will not offer him a draw and he will not speak to him."
Anand svarede, at han ikke ville overholde dette, hvilket fik Silvio Danailov, Topalovs manager, til at udtale, at "hvis Vishy ikke overholder reglerne, vil han blive tvunget til det, for Topalov vil ikke tilbyde ham remis, og han vil ikke tale med ham."
