   With two rounds left in the first of the year's FIDE Grand Prix
   tournaments, [1]the event in Baku has two leaders: Alexander Grischuk
   and now Wang Yue. Wang Yue defeated Svidler on the white side of a
   Gruenfeld, while all the other leaders drew their games. Only one
   other game had a decisive result, and that was the very strange
   contest between tailenders David Navara and Ernesto Inarkiev - have a
   look at [2]the video on this page.
   Standings after Round 11:
   1-2. Wang Yue, Grischuk 7
   3. Gashimov 6.5
   4-6. Mamedyarov, Carlsen, Adams 6
   7-8. Radjabov, Kamsky 5.5
   9-11. Bacrot, Karjakin, Cheparinov 5
   12-13. Svidler, Inarkiev 4.5
   14. Navara 3.5
