Rockhopper: <Gegga: Draw. And Wang Hao goes from being BEHIND, not to being EQUAL, but actually PASSING Magnus because of the 3-1-0 rule. Stupid, if you ask me.>

Rockhopper: <princeali: I think Aronian got tired and slipped (By moving his R to the 2nd rank). The stalemate was easy to spot! He could have tried forcing a pawn exchange and MAY have gotten a win!> Obviosly Aronian set up the stalemate deliberately. It was a theoretical draw.
