This is the final position of the Kamsky – Ponomariov game

Kamsky is at it again. In the first game of the second half, he took Ponomariov to school in a somewhat innocent position. This shows Gata’s talent and understanding of these types of positions. I cannot say that Gata is fully back to his old form but he is certainly making a big splash. You’ve got to believe!

In the mean time, Anand with the White pieces drew against Bacrot. Topalov with the White pieces lost to Svidler.

After 6 rounds, Gata Kamsky is leading Mtel with 4.5 points in 6 games.

1 4.5 GM Kamsky (USA, 2671)
2 4.0 GM Anand (India, 2803)
3 3.5 GM Svidler (Russia, 2743)
4 2.5 GM Topalov (Bulgaria, 2804)
5 2.0 GM Bacrot (France, 2708)
6 1.5 GM Ponomariov (Ukraine, 2738)
