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....
