The penultimate round of Wijk aan Zee 2010 saw major developments at the top
of the table, with world number one Magnus Carlsen the chief beneficiary.
In Leko-Carlsen the players repeat the same line of the Najdorf that had featured
in their game at the 2009 Tal Memorial. There , Carlsen had outplayed his opponent
to win a long endgame, but today the result was a series of early exchanges
and an inevitable draw. However, this half point sufficed to give the Norwegian
outright first place, going into the final round, as the World Champion handed
co-leader Kramnik his first defeat of the tournament.
Anand,V (2790) - Kramnik,V (2788) [C42]

21.Qc3 b6 22.Rad1 Qf6 23.Qg3 Nc6 24.Ng4 Qg6 25.d5 Na5 26.Bxc7 Bc2?! Here,
Fritz 12 suggests that Black is holding satisfactorily after 26...Bc5. Kramnik's
move is the start of a mistaken manoeuvre, which walks into a powerful exchange
sacrifice. 27.Rc1 Nb3?
28.Rxc2! Kramnik must have under-estimated the consequences of this
move. 28...Qxc2 29.Nh6+ Kh8 30.Nxf7+ Kg8 31.Nh6+ Kh8 32.Nf7+ Kg8 33.Nh6+
Kh8 34.Be5! White has two pawns for the exchange, and his main threat is 35.Bh5.
34...Qg6 35.Bg4 Rxc4 36.Qxb3 Rxe5 37.Rxe5 Rc1+ 38.Kh2 Bd6
39.f4. 39.Qe3 is possibly still more incisive, but the text seems good
enough. 39...Bxe5 40.fxe5 gxh6 41.Qe3 Qb1 42.d6 Rh1+ 43.Kg3 Re1 44.Qf4 Rf1
45.Bf3 1-0. [Click to replay]
Anand in the press conference after the game
World Champion on the rise: Anand now has a mathematical chance of winning the
event
Kariakin-Shirov saw another theoretical battle in the 6...Bc5 Spanish, which
has been one of the opening tabiyas of the event. Kariakin tried the
pawn sacrifice 18.e5, and although he achieved somewhat the better chances in
the ending, the draw always looked likely. The most remarkable feature of the
game, and a testament to the depth of Kariakin's preparation, is that
when the draw was agreed at move 39, his clock showed 1.52 remaining, some twelve
minutes more than he started the game with!
Karjakin,Sergey (2720) - Shirov,A (2723) [C78]

The game Smeets-van Wely must have caused the latter an embarrassing sense
of deja vu. Just as in his round four game with Ivanchuk, van Wely
faced 8.Qe2 against the Najdorf, and just as in the earlier game, he was in
dire trouble just a handful of moves later.
Smeets,J (2657) - Van Wely,L (2641) [B96]

Went down to bare kings: Caruana vs Nakamura
Tiviakov vs Short was drawn in 33 moves
The other games were all drawn. Caruana-Nakamura was fought down to bare kings,
whilst Nigel Short's surprise opening choice of the 5...gxf6 Caro-Kann led only
to a steady draw against Tiviakov. Finally, Dominguez escaped with a draw against
Ivanchuk, in a game which the Ukrainian star will have been disappointed not
to win.
So, as we head into tomorrow's final round, Carlsen leads with 8.0, followed
by Kramnik and Shirov on 7.5, and Anand on 7.0. The relevant last round pairings
are Carlsen-Caruana, Kramnik-Kariakin, Shirov-Dominguez, and van Wely-Anand.
For the Norwegian the equation is simple – if he can beat Caruana, undisputed
first place is his. Play in the final round begins one hour earlier than usual,
at 12.30 pm European time.
