One more move… Ted Mann added to the Kramniks squad.
Dmitry Jakovenko had the world’s rating leader Veselin Topalov struggling in a very dangerous position. But then the Russian GM started to lose the thread, and on move 25 blundered badly and actually lost the game in just four more moves. Peter Leko pressured Magnus Carlsen’s Gruenfeld, but the Norwegian sacrificed an exchange and held the game. Express report.

French GM Marie Sebag stopped the winning streak of GM Nana Dzagnidze with a fine black win. As expected, in the last round before a free day the players came out fighting, and again there were four wins and two draws. This brings the total results so far to 19 wins out of 30 games and 11 draws, a 63% wins ratio which is extraordinary.
Big report with pictures and annotated games.
