Hi everyone,
Five players are in joint lead at the 7th Tal Chess memorial in Moscow. Consider that there are total of 10 players in the event playing a round-robin format! This unlikely situation came about when both joint leaders Alexander Morozevich and Vladimir Kramnik lost their games to Evgeny Tomashevsky and Luke McShane. Fabiano Caruana held his nerves and drew a tough game against Teimour Radjabov. The Hikaru Nakamura and Magnus Carlsen game was also a draw as was the Levon Aronian-Alexander Grischuk game. Two more rounds are to be played.
