Garech: Fantastic game! Very enjoyable. It really seemed to me that black could have attacked with more venom on the kingside - but it was irrelevant, ultimately. The queen penetration proved decisive. In other news, can Carlsen break his drawing streak and break Karjakin's winning streak? ...

Garech: It's an A26 - English opening against King's Indian with d3 and Nc6. At least, according to Fritz 12.

| |
|
Garech: A Titanic struggle! It seems that Smyslov was virtually winning around move 35, and let his advantage slip. Botvinnik, however, never got equality back, and Smyslov fought hard enough to gain a second advantage and win. Great Stuff!

Garech: So, how does today's results leave the tiebreaks? Even if Carlsen wins both his remaining games, and Vlad gets a win and a draw, won't Vlad now be the winner? Unbelievable.

Garech: What a game from Magnus. This win reminded me of Fischer's play - the clinical accuracy, constant threats, positional domination and tactical icing-on-the-cake. Superb! -Garech

| |
|
Garech: Amazing save by Aronian; great accuracy was required and he played perfectly. It was not your standard "opposite bishops easy draw" situation by any strength. Kudos to big Vlad also, although he did miss some stronger play earlier in the game that may have led to a win. -Garech

Garech: <kellmano> - yeah, it's such a laugh! By the way, if Ivanchuk flagged, how come he played the last move of the game? Surely that's not possible? -Garech
