Amber 2009: Aronian breaks away as Carlsen and Anand falter

In a dramatic penultimate round all (!) the blindfold games were decided – though many by simple blunders that occur when you do not have the pieces in front of you. Anand dropped a queen in one, and Magnus Carlsen played as if in a stupor. Only Lev Aronian won his match to go into the clear lead by a full point. Big pictorial report with an Europe Echecs video interview with Veselin Topalov.
