Yeah it's still early, there are 13 more rounds to go.

Topalov is very good at winning tournaments so I have a bit of hope that he`ll be contender for the title once again.

That's pretty much just an opening trap. Pretty poor from Mamedyarov :/

This Kramnik game is fun. 19.Rc5 instead of 19.Rxa7...

Kramnik is very afraid of taking pawns.
Now he's thinking for ages about 23. Qxe6.
Pawnophobia.

I think after Rxa7 the rook could have been traped somehow?

Such a great thread! Such a beautiful game, reminds me of Starcraft. ^^
Beauty is not the goal of competitive sports, but high-level sports are a prime venue for the expression of human beauty. The relation is roughly that of courage to war.

Lovely finish for Aronian, trapping the rook in all lines.

Now Kramnik sacced the exchange, curious how he's gonna include his queen in the game...

wow, Andreikin just gave the ending up.

Just found this thread - pretty cool. I mostly play on gameknot, and occasionally on FICS (freechess.com) when I want to play real-time. Don't really pay much attention to the master game, though - maybe I should, but then it's one more thing to spend time on.
