6/8, winning smoothly enough today with black against perhaps his most challenging opponent. When he was on "just" 3/5 a few days ago, I recalled with a smile Leonard discussing his target being between 8-9/11 in such a strong field, but 8 indeed looks like the minimum score now.
I'm finding Wesley So having more than Mamedyarov + Nakamura combined hard to believe.

Shak isn't playing anywhere near as well this year as he was in 2018.
