Group A
Magnus Carlsen played a magnificent game against Vladimir Kramnik, beating
the former World Champion with the black pieces. Levon Aronian could not overcome
Ivanchuk's defence and only drew, so that now, before the final round, Aronian
and Carlsen are in the lead. Judit Polgar outplayed Michael Adams on the black
side of a Petroff. And sensationally Veselin Topalov went down against Pavel
Eljanov in a Modern Benoni.
Massive interest for the game Kramnik vs Carlsen

Kramnik may have had a slight edge, but the following pawn grab plan is based
on a simple miscalcualtion, having missed that he could not take on b6 because
of material loss. 29.Qxa6 Ra7 30.Qb5. Forced. After this the
ending was very bad for White and Carlsen wrapped things up. 30...Qxb5

Group A standings
Here are the pairings for the final round:
| Group A: Round 13 - Sun. Jan. 27th |
| Vassily Ivanchuk - Loek van Wely |
|
| Judit Polgar - Levon Aronian |
|
| Veselin Topalov - Michael Adams |
|
| Boris Gelfand - Pavel Eljanov |
|
| Peter Leko - Shak. Mamedyarov |
|
| Magnus Carlsen - Teimour Radjabov |
|
| Vishy Anand - Vladimir Kramnik |
|
Carlsen has white against Radjabov, who would desperately like to move into
the top bracket, but will probably be fairly cautious against the obviously
in-form Norwegian. Aronian is Black against Judit Polgar, who is probably in
an optimistic mood and will be seeking to improve her position on the final
table. Naturally the big match is Anand vs Kramnik, where anything might happen.
Anand might try to set the tone for the September World Championship match with
a fine victory; Kramnik might strike out for once with the black pieces to climb
to a less embarrassing position on the table; or the two may draw quickly, with
none wishing to jeopardise anything in the last round of the event. Today there
were at times 8,500 visitors simultaneously on the Playchess
server. Tomorrow we expect to a new heavy load experiment and perhaps welcome
ten thousand guests.
Group B
Movsesian put one hand on the trophy and the qualifying place for next year's
A Group, by beating L'Ami decisively.

Business vs track suit: Ivan Cheparinov vs Hou Yifan was a 41-move draw
With Short and Bacrot drawing with one another, this leaves Movsesian a point
clear, going into the final round, where he will face Humpy Koneru with Black.
