London Chess Classic 2015

[MJMcCready]

To say the least, losing interest rapidly. zzzzzzz... .

[Barry Sandercock]

Five more draws today ?

[Barry Sandercock]

Aronian-Carlsen is now a draw.

[Jonathan Rogers]

Even Howell v Pert isn't much working as a distraction. The rest day tomorrow will be as much a relief to the spectators as the players, I should think.

[Carl Hibbard]

Have a quiet word about the Berlin somebody knock a few heads together.

[Jonathan Rogers]

Not that I'd much like to defend any of the remaining positions myself, you understand.

Bring back the Petroff?

[MartinCarpenter]

It is slightly sad when even Nakamura has gone over

Surely at least Anand - Topalov has been interesting all the way through? Seems rather sharp now. Caruana - Grischuk intriguing enough too I guess.

[JustinHorton]

Anand looks really well placed to me.

[JustinHorton]

Caruana missing 46 Qg6 is very odd. Obviously easy if you've got a computer to help you, but still, strange for a player of his class, not remotely short of time.

Not many decisive results but there's been some amazing escapes, Grischuk will add another one to the list if he saves this.

Topalov pinning his hopes on a stalemate trick.

[LawrenceCooper]

Anand won and Grischuk escaped so we have 3 players on 3/5, 6 on 2.5 and Topalov on 1.

[MartinCarpenter]

Ouch. Ruthless events when you're out of form these. Really nice looking game that from Anand I think.

I suppose that drawing all his games is a way for Magnus to avoid setting a new WC loss record in a year
