Round 4

was another blood bath. Second round in a row with no draws. Considering the experts with their fancy statistical analysis were predicting 60% of the games would end in draws (not unusual at that level), this result is all the more amazing.

Anyway, after the dust settled the standings are now:

1. Topalov 3.5
2. Svidler 3 (the stealth candidate?)
3. Anand 2.5 (yes, he lost)
4. Kasimdzhanov 2
5-6. Leko, Polgar 1.5
7-8. Adams, Morozevich 1
