There is a new address for “The Chess Mind” blog by FM Dennis Monokroussos at http://www.thechessmind.net/. Change your bookmarks and your links. Long one of the best sites in the chess blogosphere, The Chess Mind continues to offer among the best chess content on the web, especially with its timely annotations of elite GM games (including games from the ongoing Tal Memorial). This is the second move for Dennis, and previous versions of his site exist at Dennis M’s Chess Site and at the soon-to-be defunct Powerblogs. Let us hope he has found a permanent home, as he has in the hearts of all who love chess.

All games were drawn, except one: Vladimir Kramnik beat Peter Svidler in an Exchange Grünfeld that looked quite effortless on the part of the former World Champion. Magnus Carlsen, it was revealed, is suffering from a throat infection and has played his last three games with A fever. The Norwegian is now on antibiotics. Full report to follow, but here are the games and results.
