decisive result for sure.
Huh? Wang-Dominguez wasn’t a decisive result.
Dominguez and Carlsen drew, also Shirov and Topalov. Anybody know the result of the remaining game?
Shirov – Topalov 1/2
Dominguez – Carlsen 1/2
Ivanchuk – Wang 0-1 (what a finish by Chinese!).
Congrats to Wang for chairing the lead after 2 rounds. Poor Chucky blundered in a better position.
No blunder! Wang captured Ivanchuks king in a very special way! I appreciate this sort of playing. Fantastic!
okay
