Kamsky is facing an extremely difficult situation at Corus. He wants to perform well. But he cannot reveal his opening preparation against Topalov. This is similar to what Anand had to face in Bilbao before his match with Kramnik.

In spite of this, Gata is performing reasonably well. Today he takes out Karjakin, one of the leaders of Corus A. Here are the full round 11 results:

Corus A

L. van Wely – S. Movsesian 0-1
G. Kamsky – S. Karjakin1-0
L. Dominguez – L. Aronian 1-0
Y. Wang – T. Radjabov 0-1
M. Adams – V. Ivanchuk ½-½
A. Morozevich – M. Carlsen ½-½
J. Smeets – D. Stellwagen ½-½

In the B group, Sasikiran continues one of his worst career performances. He lost again today, this time to Fabiano. His 2700+ rating is taking a massive dive.

Corus B

H. Mecking – R. Kasimdzhanov 0-1
D. Navara – N. Short 0-1
Z. Efimenko – D. Reinderman 0-1
F. Caruana – K. Sasikiran 1-0
F. Vallejo Pons – E. l’Ami 1-0
A. Motylev – A. Volokitin ½-½
J. Werle – Y. Hou ½-½

In group, So regained his lead after the terrible blunder a few rounds ago, thanks to his own win and the loss by Tiger this round.

Corus C

A. Gupta – R. Pruijssers 0-1
E. Iturrizaga – A. Giri 0-1
M. Leon Hoyos – O. Romanishin 1-0
