Cheparinov made it 4/4 by beating Danielsen in an interesting game yesterday, whereas top seeded many-time participant (and former winner) Malakhov took a quick draw as black vs Schandorff. |

 | | achieve: An interesting confrontation, for more than one reason, in this 6th round is one between WGM Alina L'Ami and Jan Timman. Alina is the wife of GM Erwin L'Ami (also Dutch), so some added spice in this encounter, one could argue. |

Alina will be in tears, although it happened to the best of them... This is chess. Qxh3 and the rook will deliver mate. Ouch. |
