Hi everyone,
With two rounds to go, Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura has surged into a half-point lead over the rest in the Tata Steel Chess Super-GM. He pulled off a fine victory over current Russian Men's Champion Ian Nepomniachtchi. While Vishy Anand - who was in joint lead - had to settle for a draw with Vachier-Lagrave and Carlsen beat Vladimir Kramnik in a cool game.
Here are two nice videos giving you all the details about the situation after Round 11.
You can access more details at the official website www.tatasteelchess.com also. It's still anyone's game at the top. Stay tuned for more.
Here are two nice games that you can run in our pgnplayer or watch in flash below.
