Gelfand-Kamsky (Draw)

Kamsky down in material but manage to set a fotress and draw the game.

Bareev - Leko (Draw)

Leko has the better game but couldn't convert his extra pawn advantage in 2 rooks + 6 pawns versus 2 rooks + 5 pawns endgame.

Shirov - Aronian (the clock in my PC show 0054 and i should go to sleep)

Shirov should win this game. He has 2 pawns advantage in Rook+Bishop+5 pawns versus Rook+Knight+3 pawn.

Latest result

Aronian managed to escaped from losing position by drawing a difficult game 4 against Shirov . Shirov should blame himself for not winning this game especially when he is trailing a point and he has to 2 more game to play.

He can’t afford to lose a single game in the remaining 2 rounds.
