 | | Penguincw: < Classical games: Fabiano Caruana tied Loek van Wely 2 to 2, with 5 draws. > When Caruana has white, he's +1,-0,=4.
But of course, van Wely won the first 2 decisive games, Caruana the last 2. All their decisive games took place in Corus/Tata Steel. 4 of 5 meetings were decisive. |

 | | Penguincw: Carlsen has already drawn So with black, so Carlsen in temporarily ahead by 1.5 points. Engine currently says 1.81 in this game, while Ding Liren (who is 2 points back of Carlsen) - Eljanov is at 1.22. So, if Caruana wins this game, he will be just half a point behind Carlsen in the final round. If Caruana draws, Carlsen clinches a tie of first.
If Caruana loses, and Ding Liren doesn't win, Carlsen clinches sole first. If Ding Liren wins, he will be a point behind Carlsen. Crucial R13 games:
Carlsen - Ding Liren
Tomashevsky - Caruana |
