Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Are there now not 3 rounds to go??? Or am I missing something.?
I think that there are three rounds to go too. There are 12 players, and they have only played 8 rounds of 11.
Incidentally if Carlsen wins his next round (which is against Jakovenko) he will have the same live rating as Anand on 2798.1!
But Carlsen will lose 1.6 points with draws in the last 2, so needs 2.5/3 to be top at the end of Aerosvit of live rating list, when he would be rated 2801.5..
If Carlsen draws his last 3 he will still be second on virtual rating with 2791.5, however if he just gets 1/3 (unlikely as it is) he will only be 4th (or even 5th if Ivanchuk has a strong finish).
Ivanchuk will be within 1 virtual point of Carlsen if he has a strong finish scoring 1 point more than Carlsen in the last 3 games.

Well Maggie was a great right wing leader, with the longest continous reign as prime minister since 1827.
