Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
The tournament was suspended with 1 round to go due to tragic news of the death of Christian Bauer’s 4 month old child. On the proposal of the players the 11th and final round was cancelled. Edouard, Vachier and Bacrot will play off for the title on Saturday.

They were right to cancel the last round. Christian Bauer couldn’t possibly be expected to play. My sincere condolences to his family.
