    Nice win there for Anand. Carlsen - Bacrot wss tough. Topalov seems to be a little mild these days. Hope all well with him.

    Carlsen has adopted the nice technique of draw with Black and win with White I think. So, we expect him to win tomorrow. Good.

    Nanjing is turning out to be a Bacrot Carlsen show. Fantastic chess. Thanks Chess Queen for keeping us updated. It's difficult to locate these games. Most of the stuff is in Chinese - literally. Heh heh.
