Karjakin-Short, Day 4: Karjakin clinches match victory
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1215397997.shtml


   The [1]Sergey Karjakin-Nigel Short rapid match is scheduled for ten
   games, but with a win in game 7 Karjakin took a 5.5-1.5 lead, good
   enough to clinch overall victory. The organizers paid for ten games,
   though, so although Karjakin no longer had anything to play for, game
   eight went on as scheduled (a very messy game won by Short, who was
   fortunate that his opponent missed an outright win), and they'll
   finish things up in the morning.
   Games, with my comments, are [2]here.
