Hello,
	There is a new post on The Chess Mind.  You can read it at:

http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1213824252.shtml

It begins:

	Magnus Carlsen and Pavel Eljanov drew today
	(against Andrei Volokitin and Sergey Karjakin,
	respectively), and that means that Carlsen, who
	leads by a point and a half with one round to play,
	is the winner of the 2008 Aerosvit tournament.
	Carlsen's last two games were fairly quick draws,
	but today he tried for a good long time to break
	down Volokitin's Orthodox QGD. Surprisingly,
	perhaps, Volokitin proved the technically superior
	player today, and enjoyed a nominal advantage by
	the end of the game. Meanwhile, nothing much
	happened in Eljanov-Karjakin, and
	Nisipeanu-Onischuk and Alekseev-Jakovenko were
	drawn as well....
